1. anguis fragilis

   Anguis fragilis, commonly known as the slow worm, is a limbless reptile species native to Eurasia. Despite its appearance, it is not a worm or a snake but actually a legless lizard. It is characterized by its shiny, elongated body with smooth scales. It has the ability to autotomize, or shed its tail, which is a common defense strategy against predators. Slow worms are primarily carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as slugs and snails.

1. Anguis fragilis

   Anguis fragilis, or slow worm, slow-worm or slowworm, is a limbless reptile native to Eurasia. It is also sometimes referred to as the blindworm or blind worm. Slow worms are semifossorial lizards, spending much of the time hiding underneath objects. The skin of the varieties of slow worms is smooth with scales that do not overlap one another. Like many other lizards, slow worms autotomize, meaning they have the ability to shed their tails to escape predators. The tail regrows, but remains smaller. These reptiles are mostly active during the twilight and occasionally bask in the sun, but are more often found hiding beneath rocks and logs. They are carnivorous and, because they feed on slugs and worms, they can often be found in long grass and other damp environments. The females give birth to live young. In the days leading up to birth, the female can often be seen basking in the sun on a warm road. They are common in gardens and can be encouraged to enter and help remove pest insects by placing black plastic or a piece of tin on the ground. On warm days, one or more slow worms will often be found underneath these heat collectors. One of the biggest causes of mortality in slow worms in suburban areas is the domestic cat, against which it has no defence.
