Go Henry. What a jump. I thought it looked like a skink until I didn’t see legs. We probably call them leg-less lizards

I found the name slow worm in the German-English dictionary and it fitted the prompt. We call them “Blindschleiche”, aka blind (because they have eyelids they were thought to be blind (!), even the old Greeks thought so). Schleiche is related to slinking.

Go figure how the ancients thought or even looked at things closely. I would have called them “Blinkinskinkin”

Our grandson was there when Henyr was born. He really looks forward to seeing him when he visits us. But like many cats Henry has a small attention span. 10 minutes play is the most he’ll do. Then he loses interest.

Typical. Cats do ‘bored now’ so well.

Is that the name you use for them? I’m asking because of the discussion I had with Brian here.
