Nice pic, how do you get the close up shots without the specimen fleeing, i thought slow worms were shy creatures.

you can be lucky enough to pick one up without any fuss hold it for a few minutes and gently place it on the ground it will sit there long enough to take some pics sometimes your not so lucky and it looks like you've had a handful of pidgeons lol

Generally though they are shy lizards & can crap on you like Grass snakes if frightened when picked up! Once i kept a gravid female just to study for a couple of weeks, in which time she gave birth, & then i released her, with her young, back where i'd found her. I mainly just furnished a temporary aquarium tank with a nice depth of compost covered with some dead weeds & leaves & a little slice of grassy turf. She actually soon got quite relaxed with my presence & relished all the small, creamy coloured slugs i gave her. That creamy species (?) is a Slow Worm favourite & the way she purpoefully reared up a bit & struck down to gobble them was fascinating to watch. Yeh, that's a lovely photo' by the way. Sure there's almost a grin there!
