Well quick look out on the road side embankment at Great Cornard Sudbury this morning turns a bit of flat board and what I though was a big black millipede my surprise a complete black melanistic young sloworm.This is amazing seeing I caught a albino one years ago all I need is a aboriginal rainbow coloured slowie to complete the set. This was completely black with no other colour the only light bit is the flash reflection Keith

Wow, nice find. I can understand how "big black millipede"came to mind.

Despite my myriad garden slow worms, I'm hugely jealous of you finding that! I've never seen a melanistic one. Well done!
