PEOPLE in the north-east area of Barnsley are being urged to send in their snaps of reptiles they spot in the area.
A large-scale survey of the creatures in South Yorkshire is underway with The Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership keen to see how healthy populations are in the region.
They feel they can rely on the public to provide information.
To submit photographs and details of your own reptile sightings, please email DVLP@Barnsley.gov.uk or call 787540.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
