Slow worm

Slow worm

This slow worm was so cold he'd stopped moving so took him to the warmth of the compost heap.

How lucky you spotted him. Such lovely little creatures.

Well done. He would probably have been ok unless of course a cat or crow got him. I'm glad that he is safe now.

Plenty of cats and crows around here, Toto as well as Kites so definitely best to move her.

A cow might tread on it!

Ah! The milk of human kindness.
Are we all mad on here or is it just me?

He/She probably came from the compost heap in the first place, they love
dark & damp places...so glad they are safe....~)))

Toto did a great line in compost bin slow worms last year - whole family of them together.

I had to tell them to move out as I needed somewhere to sleep but they ignored me and are still there which in the end turned out for the best as they make great bed companions.

LOL. Glad they've made you welcome, Toto - something to keep you warm on a cold night!

Their blood is warmer than Jean's.
