They're protected they are... came across millions my previous job, many a development was delayed because the slow worms had to be environmentally translocated before work could start on the ground.
I get slow worms on my lottie, if you can find somewhere to leave a piece of corrugated iron undisturbed where the sun can reach it,( I have a piece about 80cms sq), you will find that as the weather gets warmer they will spend part of the day under it, enjoying the warmth. They are nocturnal and breed around August time, producing live young. they are not related to snakes but are legless lizzards. They are so beautiful, the young ones are like strips of polished copper, cherish them , they are getting quite rare in some areas.
Dont know about a name lol. My 2nd son used to bring them home all the time when he was younger, he hid them in the cellar until one of his brothers told on him lol. Also when he was a toddler he asked me for a jam jar when I asked him why he just kept repeating that he wanted a jam jar, when I eventually got him to tell me what he wanted one for he said to put these in and pulled out a handfull of worms from his coat pocket lol. Maybe thats why he keeps snakes now.
Gardening ..... begins with daybreak
and ends with backache
I found one today down by my compost bins. Lovely things, used to keep loads of them when I was a kid, in my naive innocence.
Great things, much better than the bl**dy rat I found in my dalek today.

Life's disappointments are so much harder to take if you don't know any swear words.
