jasper65 6 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 spending some quality time with the kids over the school holidays when my youngest picked up a slow worm while out for a trek, never caught or seen one for years so it was nice to see one in such nice healthy condition, sorry about the quality but it was taken with the camera phone.... Just to point out it was released totaly unharmed within seconds of the pictures taken Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevegg 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I caught a juvenille a few years ago and kept it in a tank at home. Although I tried it with loads of different food stuff I only ever saw it eat slugs. It was about 6 inches long when I caught it and I released it back at the same place I found it a year later when it had grown to about 9 inches. Although they look like a snake they are technically a legless lizard. A beautiful creature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 weres your new camera mate should be taking it out with all the time now . ..john I was going to take it out with us John but its a bit of lump to have hanging round the neck! I can't get used to this photography business mate its too complicated for me, the new camera has probably had about pic's blasted through it with about 79 that went in the scrap bin .... I'll get it out and have a play when things ease off a bit here.... Not many Slow worms about here Kay! the one's I have caught in the past was simular sort of habitat to the above Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
