Sloworms

[horsestache1]

Last night I moved a barrel in my stable yard, and underneath, were some very large worms??
I think they may be sloworms, but have looked on the net and cannot find any info or pictures that looked like mine.

Mine ranged from about 6" long to about 25" long, they were a beautiful gold/bronze colour on the top and a purple/black on the underbelly. They had eyes, and a forked tongue.

Any info or a web address would be appriciated.

I put the barrel back by the way.

Thanks in advance.
