Meet Sidney n Stan
11 comments
Hello (very quick blog)
Stevie was over by the veg patch the other day and lifted up our nice black sheet which gets warm in the sun. He’d put it down to encorage guests like us.
Oh my friend Stan (the slow worm) and I were caught napping
Well here I am, Sidneys the name. Dont worry I’m only a baby grass snake
See how I blend in
Ok thats yer lot, I’m off
told you it was quick ; )

Fantastic photos Stevie. I have to say I would die with my feet up if I found them in my garden. :0)

you lucky chap Sthe T ! I haven't seen slow worms since a kid back home in Devon & grass snakes under corrugated iron sheets were so fast we only ever caught glimpses of them, always fascinating. Yep! I would love to see any future reptile photos.

That's great, Stevie! Well done for managing to attract them to the garden.

will do Bamps, I am sure i'll be seeing more of them. When I first lifted the black sheet there were two slow worms and I think a bigger grass snake. One of the parents I suspect. Fields all around so have seen the odd one about. We once had one caught in chicken wire and was injured. We took it the vet who offered to stich the wound. However just a word of caution, not dangerous but they do emit a panic smell which STINKS and stunk out the car

When we first moved here we had several slow worms and snakes, now the garden has been manicured we never see them now, great pics Steve...

Hi Kat, a slow worm is a really a lizard but without legs, hence looks like a snake but isnt
cheers Dd2
