European Nightcrawler

[ConcinusMan]

Typically any worms I find around here labeled by that name are virtually identical to canadians. As long as they're night crawlers (flattened tail type earthworm) you're OK.

Good source of the good stuff for Brits - Fishing Worms and Bait - Lobworms | Worms Direct ... pop 'em in the fridge and they last a good while.

Thanks for all the info.

I thought European nightcrawlers were compost worms and would be toxic to garters?

I don't think so, but anything is possible since people abuse common names. True night crawlers are earthworms with a flattened tail. The european species is just a bit redder and smaller than north american or "canadian" night crawlers but all night crawlers have one thing in common. That flattened tail with spines or "hairs" on it.
