Could be a slow worm but I’m just not sure! Absolutely tiny – approx 4” long and 4-6mm wide. Spotted tonight down in Kent.

  1. It’s a legless lizard not a snake. They’re called slow worms as you say. Probably a juvenile.

  2. Slow worm
    Cute little guys and utterly harmless they’re a legless lizard rather than a snake

  3. It’s a Gambian pit viper. If it bites you you’re dead.

  4. Not to be confused with the abasynnian tripe adder .I’ve heard they’ve been seen in the home counties.

  5. Specifically, it seems to be a baby slow worm – adults are a uniform dark bronze / brown colour, but babies seem to have this yellow with a black stripe colour. I’ve never seen a juvenile but that’s what the internet says. The grownups are longer than 4 inches too

  6. Definitely the most noodle-y looking of danger noodles. But it’s still harmless.

  7. Slow worm, whatever you do don’t kill it ( I know you won’t just some sadistic assholes out there) they’re a protected species too

  8. Thats a slow worm. I used to keep them as pets as a kid lol
