Posted: 09 Jun 2003 Topic: Slow-worm behaviour

A lady in Portsmouth tells me she has slow-worms in her compost heap. She saw that a large one was holding a smaller one in its mouth, gripping it just behind the head. This lasted for more than a hour, and both survived.
The incident was repeated, and the smaller one was later found dead.

Any ideas on what was going on?

Thanks

Alan
