Look what we found nestling in our compost heap!


Husband not so keen on these, but I was thrilled to bits! Votes please - we think they may be slow worms, but I've seen lots of mention of grass snakes, what do you think? Mum was brave enough to touch one...

They're definately slow worms - leg-less lizards (and quite possibly legless too depending on whats fermenting in your compost heap!) they're very cute and totally harmless : ) although they have a tendency to poo on you when you pick them up...

Thank you! I'm inclined not to prod, poke, bother them too much as I don't want to scare them off.
