What part of the country are you in? What type of countryside do you have nearby? Any dry stone walls?

hi

have a closer look around the area where the slowworm came from. that would be a good start - if the habitat is suitable for them it may be suitable for other reptiles too.

also try here SWWARG - South & West Wales Amphibian & Reptile Group . its an informative site and they may help you further if you contact them.

good luck
