lynseygrosfield: I thought I found a dead snake, and there are only two kinds of snake in Denmark, so I put it in my pocket at the beginning of a 10 kilometer walk because I wanted to identify it later. However, I kept forgetting it was in my pocket, putting my hand in there, and terrifying myself. When I got home I found out this is Anguis fragilis, a legless lizard that is sometimes called a slowworm. In any case, learning that seems worth the feeling of a surprise dead snake on my fingertips. -- source link
