I think that's correct.At a guess I'd say grass snake.

Lol.100% Grass snake
They are totally harmless, play dead if you pick them up, and emit a foul smelling liquid all over you!

I'm surprised at how small it is.
I've dug up worms bigger than that.
Going on the snake to brick ratio I'm guessing about a foot. ( or 30 cm if you must )I'm surprised at how small it is.
Their (Adults) head is not much bigger than a large thumb, I've seen them take adult toads.and will take prey larger than themselves.
The Wiki write-up says they're good swimmers, and will take prey larger than themselves.
Does that mean if Frank managed to put one on a hook, it would eat his fish?

CorrectSnakes don't have a sternum and their jaws aren't as rigidly 'constructed' as mammals IIRC
And worseWho'd like to know if cobras can do the same thing?

I have kept many species of snake, both CB and wild caught, ( when it was allowed, but that was a few years ago now) and never known anything other than a grass snake to do this..I've had this happen twice, with a pet corn snake,

Its not pleasant that's for sure!Not many things make me retch but by golly, that did.
There used to be a whole hive of them not too far from me, ( dis-used railway bank, AKA Beechams axe) as a kid I'd often go catch a couple, for the summer and release them in the Autumn for them to "hibernate"I've only ever seen one wild snake like the one above
