 Wow wonderfull thanks for all that now for the complete saga to date.I live in Derby 3 miles from the city centre on a large 1960 housing estate.Whilst digging my back garden in Febyuary/March I turned this creature over I had never seen any thing like it before.It was a sunny day it lay on my hand and did not move. It was smooth skinned, black on its outer body and orange no spots or stripes on its under belly and 4 inches long amended from 5 inches.After 5 minutes the sun and my hand presumably warmed it and the black changed to dark olive green and mottled but still lethargic.Placing him under some grass I continued digging intending to photograph it later.The next morning armed with my camera alas it had gone.On the 11 June on the path in my front garden 50 yards from where I last saw it there it was.Although it was sunny and warm at 8 am it was smooth, black and still moving very slowly more photos are attached. I have since learnt that my next door but one neighbour has two pools in line with my front garden in the direction it was heading. Could this together with the other photos help you confirm its ID. Many thanks for your replies and involvement.Dencar |
