Slow Worm - Scottish Environment LINK
... Although superficially snake-like the Slow Worm is actually a legless lizard. They have shiny scales that give them a smooth appearance. Slow worms are usually bronze or gold coloured; females and juveniles have dark flanks and, often, a stripe down the back. They can grow up to 40cm. These lizards ...

Special Relationships
... A parasitic relationship is one in which one member of the association benefits while the other is harmed. Parasitic symbioses take many forms, from endoparasites that live within the host's body, to ectoparasites that live on its surface. In addition, parasites may be necrotrophic, which is to say ...
