slow worm

We were pleased to see our first slow worm -- a female about 10 in. long -- on the move in our garden yesterday. However, after settling itself in the sun under some magnolia petals, we noted that it had stopped moving and stayed put until nightfall. We took it inside in a box with leaves and a...

Anybody have a natural UK planted terrarium or vivarium? I'm looking into setting up a terrarium for a couple of slow worms but I want to keep it as natural as possible. Pictures would be great for inspiration as well.

hi im new here, just want to say hello. ive just taken over a large garden and im hoping to create a wildlife section/s, so thought I might need your suggestions. regards.

Hello, I am a 24 years old girl living in Norway, and I am in desperate need of advice and help from you! You see... This morning I found a injured slow worm in our garden, the nabours cats must have gotten to it cause it has several puncture wounds. I first thought it was dead but it moved...

Hi Sorry, I already posted basically this exact message in the snakes forum, but I'm fairly desperate. I'm pretty sure there is a slow worm loose in my flat, I found pieces of shed skin on the floor a couple of days ago but I've not been able to track down it's hiding place. I have no idea...

Hi I know slow worms aren't snakes but I hope that maybe someone here can help anyway? I'm pretty sure there is a slow worm loose in my flat, I found pieces of shed skin on the floor a couple of days ago but I've not been able to track down it's hiding place. I have no idea how it got in here...

Thought I'd check on the slows as I was retrieving the retriever from barking his tats off at next door: Been living under this dustbin lid for years :)

Hi everybody, I'm new and I'm posting for advice as my cats who have access to an outdoor run have injured a slow worm. She has scratches on her body that look greyish and her tail is missing but I read online that they can shed them. She is pretty big about 13 inches without the end of her...

Hey all, I don't venture out of the snake section much (maybe I should get out more) but I thought this was the correct section to post this. I just saw Fluffy the local cat playing with something in my garden. I ran out to find this little guy. Couldn't see any marks or injuries on him...

31st of Jan, I saw our first slow worm. I would have thought it was a bit early but it is quite mild here. I assumed it may have been washed out of a burrow? Has anyone else seen them out yet?

WORD OF WARNING! I'm terrible at spelling/grammar Ok so I decided to make a care sheet on slow worms. It’s my first ever care sheet and is based on my experience with my female that got when I was 13 (2 years ago) and my general knowledge on the species. If anyone has any advice/experience that...

I have had a female slow worm for over 2 years. I looked on the internet and there seem to be no care sheets for these lovely animals. So I was wondering whether to make one based on my experiance. Is it worth doing? It would have the care side but also have how I tamed mine and the behaviour I...

Afternoon. I don’t mean to start a new thread when one isn’t necessary, but I also don’t know about this site's etiquette with regards to dragging up fact sheet threads, so here we are.. I have found and read the slow worm sheet...

Hello all this is my first thread. Before some people start to sharpen their pitch forks I will say the legal side of keeping slow worms. They are protected in schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is illegal to intestinally harm and or kill one. It is illegal to sale...
