The slow worm isn't a worm or even a snake, it's a legless lizard. The distinctions between a slow worm and a snake are found in their blinking eyelids, visible ears, and shedding habits. They live semi-fossorial lives hunting for slugs and worms in tall grasses and damp areas. ©Chasing Scales

Most of the time I have to Do It Tired. How else would i have gotten to see the legless lizard yesterday?

it was in a ruined castle, in a crevice of a stone stair. It is very cute
