Posted: 10 Oct 2003 Had a look at a grass and scrub glade in woodland site earmarked for a small release today that is going to have a lot of large pine removed in the winter, I have 50 tins down and was surprised to find 2 different sizes of Juveniles present 5 quite large and about 15 cm. or just over whilst there were 20 that were half that size and only about 7.5 cm. One batch of 3 particularly small ones were all in a small heap under one tin and looked almost new born but I could not believe that happening at this late time in the year. Anyone else seen this at the moment. Found a strange grey specimen and an odd shaped possibly deformed specimen will try to post pics of both tomorrow if it brightens up enough to take a picture.

Posted: 27 Aug 2005 Found a solitary baby slow worm today in one of my compost heaps (East Devon). Judging by the size it is probably about 2 weeks old. I have been checking every few days as I have 2 pregnant females in one heap but this was somewhere else. Suz |

Posted: 28 Aug 2005 Checked out my main slow worm compost heap this morning 9.30 just as the sun was striking it. Found the two females - one looks like it has had its babies, the other still waiting. also present one newborn (week old maybe) and one possibly just born and still all curled up tight and tiny.

If you join the Hampshire ARG/ Wildlife Trust the we would be able to take you out on field visits to sites with slowworms and other animals - a good start would be to go to the HARG meeting at Marwell Zoo I think it is on the 22nd April this year Regards JC Vice Chair of ARG UK - self employed consultant - visit ARG UK & Alresford Wildlife |
