	North Devon Gazette
		The common or viviparous lizard, the (legless) slowworm and the rare sand lizard represent the former and the latter are the piosonous adder or viper, the harmless grass snake and rare smooth snake.
		The slowworm is easily distinguished from a snake because of a regular-diameter head and body (without a narrowing behind the head) and visible eyelids that flicker.
		Just like the four-legged lizard, the slowworm too is able to shed its tail if a predator such as a cat, bird of prey or snake grips that end.

	Lizard - MSN Encarta
		Most lizards are small, with four legs and a long tail that in many species is fragile and easily broken but will regenerate; the tail of such arboreal species as the chameleon is adapted for grasping branches.
		The legs of some lizards are greatly shortened, or vestigial, making animals such as the glass lizard or slowworm snakelike in appearance; they are distinguished from true snakes by their movable eyelids and by differences in the structure of the skull bones, especially those of the lower jaw.
		Lizards are found in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world; few species are found in temperate regions and none in arctic areas.

	OUPblog: Between beriberi and very, very:In Praise of Useful Waste, Or, Tautological Compounds
		The name of the lizard slowworm should, if one of the proposed etymologies is right, be understood as “snake-snake.” Eventually, when the original meaning of ragamuffin and slowworm had been forgotten, people began to think that ragamuffins are ragged and slowworms are slow.
		The process of associating an etymologically obscure word with a word that is common and transparent is called folk etymology.
		It is thanks to the naïve reinterpretation of opaque words by speakers that hens emerge as the main casualties of henbane, ragamuffins discard good clothes, and slowworms lose their agility.

	Jacket 22 - Peter Campion reviews "Collected Studies in the Use of English" by Kenneth Cox
		Like the slowworm who makes his memorable appearance in that same first section of Briggflatts, these studies have a frugality that reaches toward freedom.
		Their rigorous compactness brings the mind back to a state of innocence.
		And if this critic seems as inconspicuous as Bunting’s slowworm sliding his way through the ripe wheat, he is also, like that slowworm, an enduring ‘part of the marvel.’

		This slowworm was basking on a warm path above the ravine at Aira Force, near Ullswater.
		It very obligingly allowed me to faff about moving the fern leaf close to it, to give an idea of its size (about 10cm).
		Its not a snake, and its certainly not a worm -its a legless lizard (a few pints of Coniston Bluebird can do that to you)
