Slow worm - Anguis fragilis

Unfirtunately I find these species most often dead even in grasses next to my house. It is a victim of lawn mowing. In this case I don't know what killed it. I found it in the middle of a hiking path close to Fondry Des Chiens (June, 2019).

    Oh, how sad! I didn't realize it was dead at first. Ugh. I have found piles of snakes in the past, all killed even though they were completely harmless. Posted 3 years ago

The Slow worm

''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, though the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds considers this to be incorrect.
