Don't suppose anyone has seen any of these for sale recently (last time I saw them was in Snakes N'Adders a few years ago). I've had this one for around 9 years and I bought her from a local pet shop. As I was only 13 at the time I didn't realize the restrictions of selling wild caught UK ones though I was told that she came from Germany and was captive bred. Might have been correct as she was never scarred or anything (though she was missing her tail).

Been on the lookout for a boyfriend for her for ages but have yet to see them for sale, when I visited Snakes N'Adders all they had were females.

She's become very tame andbegs for food with her mouth open. Rolling Eyes

The beg


Investigating peoples fingers is one of her hobbies


Protectin ma territory grrrrrrrrrrrr


Ah'm sorry!


Ah knows somethin!


Ah'm snoozin


Ah'm eatin yur slugz grrrr

Gorgeous. I recently worked as a gardener on a 240 acre estate, and found several young slow-worms. Was very tempted to bring some home with me but decided to leave them where they were. They are really pretty when young and have an iridescent shine. Was able to pick a couple up, they are very soft to the touch.
