Keeping warm.

Found some more Slow Worms this morning at work, they were warming up under the matting in the poly tunnel. I have to check where we tread as the young are very fragile. These must be two of the last brood as it is getting too cold for mating now, yesterday there was a knot of 5 together but they had dispersed today (when I had my camera):(

 

:luv:...So that's where my pet went to...I lost it back in '68.
I've never seen one since despite a wildlife friendly plot.

Smashing pictures strongy:cl-p:

 

s00kAgh! I guess they are good photos, Strongy, but they give me the creeps. I just hope these horrors stay in your garden and I don't find such in mine.

 

Lovely photos, strongy.

I thought I had slow worms and the are prevalent in Southern Iberia .... these critters that stretch, move along and squiggle back ???? By the way, Sis, haven't seen one in a couple of years. :thumb:

 

Great fotos! I never saw them in real, only pics, though they certainly lived in my old place (and here I suppose?). I like snakes and snakey critters. These we call Orbettini (sing: orbettino) in italian, which means more or less "little blind one", though I think they can see perfectly well.

 

Strongy the big one looks a bit of a monster, must be a six footer,:D:D certainly bigger than the one I found in the spring.

Don't know about strongy's but they go to 40cm here.

 

Thats very nearly one foot four in old money.

 

we use to have a huge one at my old house it was a t least as thick as a sausage, although something had eaten it's tail and it was rather battered...

 

Great shots Strongy love them post me a couple.
