Voted 10/10 | the English name is "Slowworm", which is more fitting anyway, as they are not blind at all (in spite of the German name). Nice animals, I had one in a terrarium as a child! | | Posted Jun 6, 2009 10:51 am |

I think we're both right and I'll change the caption to reflect both names ;-) | | Posted Jun 6, 2009 11:37 am |
