Not much point in continuing to point out an error that's already been noted and acknowledged, surely?

No, that's what I thought when I realised how long it had taken me to press the submit button. The first part of my post, referring to adders and grass snakes, I knew off the top of my head and could have posted in just a few minutes. I made the mistake of Googling to check what the geographic range of each snake was and then got drawn into a fascinating trail of other British reptiles which is where I came up with the information about the Aesculapian snakes that have escaped into the wild. By the time I had finished, the mistake had been pointed out and acknowledged but I had already pressed the submit button.

I've often wondered where all the hours go in a day. Now I know.
