Silky Smooth - _TNY_4911

Sweden, being overall fairy cold, only have three species of lizard and three species of snake.

 

This is the slow worm (Anguis fragilis) which is one of the lizards - but look a lot like one of the snakes.

 

One of the actual snakes is what in English is known as the smooth snake (Coronella austriaca), but let me tell you - it has absolutely nothing in the smoothness department compared to these guys! I mean, you can clearly see the individual scales on them, but when you touch it, it is smoother than glass. It's like the scale pattern was just printed on there or something!
