How long does a slowworm take to get used to its tank??

Question

Hi i have a slow worm and i was wondering how long does it take to get used to the tank and are they supposed to eat whilst they are getting used to their surrondings!

Answer 1

It depends.  The Chobham armour sometimes puts them off.

Answer 2

There is no set time that it will be fully adapted to its environment, but it will help if everything is set right to fit what it needs. Yes, you should try to feed the slow worm while adjusting, but remember a lot of times they won't go for the food. You just have to wait, he'll come around.

Good luck!! :) For further questions email or post more details.

Answer 3

I hope it isnt wild caught! Slow worms are protected in the UK and it is illegal to have them without a license. i suggest you release it if it is wild
