Talk:List of reptiles of Ireland

Driving the snakes out
The only source for the material about driving out snakes is a Huffington Post blog post that doesn't claim to be sourced to any specific authority ("Well, I only gained my personal knowledge in researching this article (by interviewing formerly-educated-in-Ireland Irish folk), and didn't actually know that part of it, so you'll have to forgive me."). I think the material should either be sourced appropriately or removed.Arnold Rothstein1921 (talk) 00:25, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Slow Worm link and Native status?
Anyone got a Link for the Slow Worm the present one is dead, also when we're on the subject the Article makes the claim that the Slow Worm is non-native, while making the claim that the Common Lizard IS native, how is that reasoned ... because the Slow Worm is so rare or it was only first observed a few decades ago in a very remote isolated region in Ireland? Surely if the reason for Ireland not having snakes (cold blooded animals) is due to the Ice Age, then the same logic would dictate that all reptiles would have been Introduced by humans later on, meaning that they all are non-native (on the land)! Otherwise I think it would be best to remove this confusing distinction? Bibby (talk) 23:42, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
