Posted: 27 Jul 2008 This slow worm has made several appearances in my mother in laws garden (Gillingham, Dorset) over the last year and earlier lost the end of its tail to (presumably) one of the local cats who stalks the area near the garden fence where it likes to put in an appearance. She has now built a protective cocoon of flower pots and garden gnomes around its habitat and this seems to be providing effective protection against the feline offender. On this occasion 10th July she caught the SW and kept her? captive in tupperware til I could get round for a look I think it could be a pregnant female judging by its girth? Dave
