Anguis fragilis colchicus
A very dead female slow worm (Anguis fragilis colchicus) in odd position, spotted near Kypseli village, Epirus region, Greece. The serpent was mummified, and there was left part of the skin and the sceleton...My daughters thought that it was a dead snake, but actually these are legless lizards, totally harmless...

Dear @Maria dB, it's a common species in Epirus region, and I wish I could find an alive one...
Dear @Mark Ridgway, I don't know what happened to it...I had never seen one before, dead or alive, it was a first for me...
Interesting spotting
It's very slow ! :(
