Took the words out my mouth could be a glass snake if near a metre long but it looks like a spotty slowie to me perhaps some exaggeration in its length if reported by a amateur not used to snake and reptile sighting ?? Keith

We had a thread way back in 2008 on the largest slow worms
Just re-reading I noted Steve had a whopper from Hindhead Common in Surrey, this is where I've seen some huge specimens too. Interestingly as well I notice a different look to the head on some of the largest males. I wondered if it is a sign of extreme age. Regarding estimating length nearly everyone tends to be a bit over, it is only when you know that people do it, then you tend to be conservative and probably underestimate a bit. Looking at the thread I think Seaford has a new contender for largest slow worm there!
