Talkback: Snakes in the garden

I have lots of slow worms in my compost "Daleks", Kate. The bins are plastic but keep very warm with decomposing matter in them and seem perfect habitat for the slow worms. They are of all sizes and I shall measure the longest for you when the bins have to be emptied when my raised beds are built. There will be a corrugated sheet nearby for the slow worms to shelter under till the bins are repositioned. They are such beautiful creatures, really iridescent in the sun.

happymarion - I look forward to discovering the length of your longest slow worm!
Richard - please keep us posted on the king snake.

I also found a grass snake living alongside the slow worms in the bin which surprised me!
