It wouldn't stand a chance here grindle. I've never seen one 'in the flesh' at all, I've seen adders & grass snakes when we've been out on walks in the past but have never seen a slow worm anywhere. 'Wildlife Friendly' Sue always used to have lots nesting in her compost I seem to remember, perhaps they prefer it down near you in the south where it's warmer!

we get quite a few here and when the sun is out they rest and warm up, once disturbed they disappear very quickly though, by the time I'd got back out of the greenhouse it was nowhere to be seen SueA
Cherry they are really quite small this one was probably only about 12inches long and they are perfectly harmless, they are legless lizards and not :)the snake family @

I really am frightened of snakes. There was a python on the verge opposite which was dead I(probably run over) and a snakeskin in the garden of the dogs I was looking after. There are many snakes and cane toads on the footpath near the river, so I won't walk the dogs after dark. Mind, the mozzies are bad too.

Cherry I'm hearing all about the snakes from Dave, he's been in the bush for the last 3 weeks touring and has had a couple of close encounters, I think I'll stick to the slow worms, I don't even mind picking them up

I bet the mozzies are huge by the river
