Glass Lizard - Glass Snake - Legless Lizard

To those not familiar with them, glass lizards in the genus Ophiosaurus (literally, snake -lizard ) look rather like a snake with ears and blinking eyes. Careful inspection of the vent area in some species will show tiny spurs, similar to a boa or python. Related to the alligator lizards (Gerrhonotus), their head and body shape are reminiscent of those species, including the conical teeth and lateral fold. They are very un-snakelike when held, being firm in the body like an alligator lizard or large skink, rather than the softly supple body associated with snakes.

These are the kind that live around my area.




I had no idea what they were, I thought they were snakes, they scared the heck out of me as they were slimmy and many - lots of nests.

Then come to find out, they are harmless lizards.
