Hi guys, I have just found a small slow worm in my garden who appears to be injured and we have a lot of cats around my area. I have a baby corn male and they're about the same size I was wondering if I could perhaps keep the slow worm in there with him until he's better? Would they fight? Of course I don't want to harm any of them.

Thank you!

Long and short of it absolutely not. You don't know what the injured onevwould be bringing in forvinstamce worms etc. Keep it well clear

Dont even keep it in the same room if you take it in,even new snakes should be kept away for ages, never mind something from the wild. if injured call vet or rspca
Hope it will be ok

Oh cool, hope he makes it :-)

I was going to say - we have slow worms in our garden, and I found one completely covered in mites! ( that's how I got bitten for the first time ever by a reptile - he didn't like me rubbing the mites off - then he somehow realized ( or maybe just given up ) and let me take them all off :-) )

So definitely not together....
