Slow worms
Living in the crevices between rocks, slow worms hunt by day for slugs, snails, small insects and spiders. The females give birth during summer, when up to a dozen partly developed young are born in a birth sac which soon breaks open. Developing the young inside her body keeps them at a stable temperature, protecting them from the extremes of Britain's weather.
