As most of you know, we have slow worms living in our compost heap. I lifted the black plastic the other day, to see two males, one female, and a tiny little baby, all warming up under there together.
Sorry for the quality of photos, new mobile, and I had to be very quick - they're very fast and disappear into their escape tunnels within seconds :-)

That's brilliant Razee  . I'm so jealous and know my OH would be even more so. You did the right thing not taking in the baby, although I can understand the temptation. We 'looked after' a grass snake for a few days after finding it on the road, obviously run over. Part of its head was slightly crushed but after conversations with our nearest wildlife rescue place they said it was worth seeing what happend. Unfortunately it died after a few days but that was the first snake I ever had.

I was really surprised to see so many of them together, and it didn't even notice the baby, until I've taken couple of pics :-)
It was so tiny - and almost pale yellow in colour. I must admit, I was so, so tempted to keep the baby ( it must have been very young, and so cute ) - but it wouldn't be right, and it's much better off where it is. There are so many critters and ants in there, it's got lots of food, lots of various temperature and moisture levels, I could never replicate that in a viv. All I can do is to keep the compost heap going nicely for them, so that they hang around :-) |
