Slow worm is not a snake!
It's been a long time since I've seen a slow worm. They have a protected status here in Finland, so I was glad to see one!
A common thing is that these lizards are often mistaken for snakes, but there are a number of features that differentiate them:
- They have small eyes with eyelids that, like other lizards, blink.
- They may also have visible ears.
- Slow worms may shed their tails,as a defence mechanism.
After I shot some photos of this beautiful fellow, I put it immediately back into the woods. Why? Because we have a cat and unfortunately they like to kill them.
