Slow worm Anguis fragilis legless lizard in a humans hand

Slow worms are semifossorial(burrowing) lizards, spending much of the time hiding underneath objects. The skin of slow worms is smooth with scales that do not overlap one another. Like many other lizards, slow worms autotomize, meaning that they have the ability to shed their tails to escape predators.
