Today the humans went on #hedgewatch and saw the first #slowworm of the year. We love this little #lizard often mistakenly thought to be a #snake. Did you know that the blindworm isn't blind?

Gale should’ve known better than to wander near the mud pools! Many dangerous creatures burble beneath the surface with an appetite for anything~

Phenomenal art by @omegajuicebox.bsky.social again!!

Love how it turned out~
A skorg being captured by a blindworm hiding in a mudpool. The worm has removed his helmet and pinned his arms back while it absorbs his brain’s electricity. He’ll be fine. Probably.

A 'tail' of two slow worms. Also called deaf-adder or blindworm. Regionally, long-cripple, steelworm or hazelworm.
To escape predators, they detach their tail and it thrashes about for several minutes. I'd inadvertently disturbed a nest of 8+ slow worms.

Aquel término describía la piel brillante del reptil durante su desplazamiento sinuoso. Sin embargo, el error se extendió, y también en inglés 🇬🇧 se utiliza la denominación /blindworm/ para referirse hoy a este animal de ojos pequeños.

I was looking up what specific kind of legless lizard this is and for some reason the list of UK names for it is just a pile of random ableist slurs? Why are they like this?
Wikipedia summary from Google: “The common slow-worm is a species of legless lizard native to western Eurasia. It is also called a deaf adder, blindworm, or regionally, a long-cripple, steelworm, and hazelworm.”

As I love languages, here is the slow worm in other languages:

Latin - Anguis fragilis - fragile snake
German - Blindschleiche - blind lizard
Dutch - Hazelworm - hazel worm
Swedish - Kopparödla - copper lizard
Danish & Norwegian - Stålorm - steel worm

English also uses deaf adder and blindworm

Slow worm - Legless Lizard

Hurdles and hazards
For lowly legless lizard
Spends much time hiding.

Cunning not helpless
Will leave predator baffled
As tail unhitches.

The common slow-worm (Anguis fragilis) is a species of legless lizard native to western Eurasia. It is also called a deaf adder, blindworm, or regionally, a long-cripple, steelworm, and hazelworm. The "blind" in blind-worm refers to the lizard's small eyes, similar to a blindsnake (although the slow-worm's eyes are functional). The common slow worm, i.e. the species Anguis fragilis, is often called simply "slow-worm", though all species of the species complex comprising the genus Anguis are also called "slow-worms". Common slow worms are semifossorial (burrowing) lizards that spend much of their time hiding underneath objects. The skin of slow worms is smooth, with scales that do not overlap. Like many other lizards, they autotomize, meaning that they have the ability to shed their tails to escape predators. While the tail regrows, it does not reach its original length. In the UK, slow worms are commonly encountered in gardens and allotments, where they can be encouraged to enter and assist in the removal of pest insects by placing black plastic or providing places to shelter such as piles of logs, corrugated iron sheets or under tiles. On warm days, one or more slow worms can often be found underneath these heat collectors. The name "slowworm" is only contaminated by the word "slow". In Middle English, it was written "slowurm", from Old English "slāwyrm", where slā- means 'earthworm' or 'slowworm' and wyrm means "serpent, reptile". It is related to the Norwegian slo or Swedish ormslå, of same meaning.

"Why The Nightingale Sings By Night.
The blindworm was very angry at being thus wronged, and vowed that his faithless ally should be punished. Every night he goes prowling about that he may catch the nightingale on her perch and sting her."

I've always loved slow worms – used to try to spot them in the scrub at the train station coming home from school when I was a lad. I particularly love that they also have other names – deaf adder and blindworm – and that no part of any of their names describes what they are.

We saw a snake today! Or technically a Blindschleiche, according to google translate it might be called slowworm or blindworm in english?

a picture of a slow worm, a legless lizard found natively in western europe. it has a similar appearance to a snake but it is most definitely not a snake The common slow-worm (Anguis fragilis) is a species of legless lizard native to western Eurasia.
