Snakes and Slow worms

Frequently asked questions about Slow worms:

 

I have Slow Worms in my garden, do I need to do anything for them?

The only thing you need to do is maintain the habitat as it is - this is after all why the Slow Worms have been attracted to your garden.  Slow Worms, like all reptiles, need places for basking in the sun, foraging for food and sheltering and hibernating in.  They can often be found basking and sheltering on/in stone piles, under garden detritus or in short vegetation.  They spend much of their time foraging in longer vegetation, under wood piles or grass cuttings.

If your question has not been answered or you require more information please contact the Wildlife Information Service on 01733 558960 or info@froglife.org
