- DNA synthesis decline involved in the developmental arrest of the limb buds in the embryos of the slow worm, Anguis fragilis (L.).
DNA synthesis decline involved in the developmental arrest of the limb buds in the embryos of the slow worm, Anguis fragilis (L.).
Furthermore, these results suggest that one of the functions of the AER would be to maintain a high level of DNA synthesis in the mesoderm underlying the AER in a normal limb bud.

 RAUK e-Forum: Anguis cephallonica????????
I'd say that it is a very old Anguis, most other people i have shown the photograph to agree with me. I am only seventeen and have only visited Greece over the last few years for reptiles, just wondering if anyone else has seen such a specimen.
This has to be Anguis cephallonica because (1) there's no fragilis around on Cephalonnia and (2) the longer snout (literally) points towards cephallonica too and (3) furthermore the coloration is very similar to the ones I have seen on the Peloponnese and in pictures.
Since then have seen quite a few Anguis cephallonica on Kefallinia and Zakynthos, although non of the animals i have seen have quite had that head proportion although the heads on most have been visibly longer than those of Anguis fragilis.

 Slow worm - Anguis fragilis: More Information - ARKive
Although slow worms, like snakes, are often feared and persecuted, they should be welcome visitors to gardens as they feed largely on slugs, snails and other slow-moving garden pests (5).
The Latin name Anguis fragilis means 'fragile snake' (2), and refers to the ability of this lizard to shed its tail when seized; the tail may continue to wriggle after being shed, and can distract predators while the slow worm escapes (5).
A new tail begins to regenerate after a couple of weeks (2).
