Found this creature. Not sure what it is. Insect. Reptile or what. Looks kind of like a snake but I'm pretty sure it's not. Can anyone help? Found in the UK. Never seen one before in my life.

It looks kind of like a caterpillar of some kind. Do you still have it available for more pics?

Looks like a caterpillar of the elephant hawk moth - http://www.saga.co.uk/lifestyle/gardening/wildlife-watch/elephant-hawk-moth-caterpillar.aspx

Yep. Found a very good photo of it here (scroll way down the page):
