A slow worm..... clearly not a fast worm or it would manage to take all its body with it.
Is it a slow worm?
No, it's a wasp. I should know, my father used to kill them for a living.

Have you seen Tremors? It's a baby one.

Something has scared a sloworm so much that it has shed its tail to distract the "predator" off the creature itself.
A large one at that.
They can only do this once, the tail stump does heal over, but does not grow back in a disposable form again, so it is always a shame if this primary defence mechanism is used when the sloworm is being handled by an over-inquisitive human.

If you want a few replacements alex, I will post some up, I have loads.
I found this on Alamy:
It's a slow worm tail.

That would be a dead slow worm - on several levels.
An ex-slow worm. It has ceased to be.

Depends entirely on what you do with it...
Plant it in the garden and you will get spice, from which you can fold space.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
