Topic: Keeping a pet slow worm
Hey
guys! I'm new here, and also the new proud owner of a slow worm! I
didn't really plan on becoming one, I just saw the poor thing being
cornered by one of the cats who live around my area and I'm too afraid
to let it go just yet, so I just wanted to know how to really look
after a slow worm so I don't do anything wrong. Do they need a special
habitat or could you just put in some long grass, compost and a few
rocks for them to shelter under? And I've also heard, by reading on
these forums, that soil can hold diseases, so would it be a bad idea to
have some?
And also, I figured it would be hard for me to find some slugs... so would my slow worm be happy with waxworms and usual earth worms? And if you guys could help, what gender do you think my slow worm is? I've been able to gender slow worms easily but this one confuses me. It has the dark stripe going down it's back as most females should have, but it has a blue under belly, and I heard that males have blue on them? Well, if anyone could help with my questions I'd be very greatful! Thanks~ Miranda |
