You are not alone. Last week on the telly an expert was explaining slow
worms to the presenter and he picked one up, confidently.
It bit him and there was lots of blood.
I laughed.. sorry


Sorry, meant to ask earlier - what was the programme please? I'd like
to see if I can find it on iPlayer or whichever player covers the
channel it was on. Thanks in anticipation and all that. Jake

I think it was on the animal rescue programme on BBC 1 at 9.15 a.m. last
week, it's finished now but it was on for around 6 weeks every day. Sorry I
forget what it was called.
They were out and about in maybe Dorset in a place that every reptile in
Britain can be seen, they did not find them all but the slow worm certainly
made an impact.
It was quite funny, here was an expert with blood running fron his hand and
the presenter saying "oh, they bite, then, do they?"

Can't resist a good google search with all that info...
Anyway it was Animal 24.7 on 6th May - not convinced it was slow worm
as they mentioned smooth snake:-

in from the start...
