NOT a snake in the grass!

Legless lizards are lizards that lost their legs. This gave them the advantage of being able to move more freely through dense undergrowth, and even loose earth, in search of prey, as we see this guy doing here.

Sure looks like a snake to me. Where's my lawn mower?

Nice shot there Mike and good info. I did not know there was such a thing.

This is a first for me for this type of lizard. Beautiful image.

Great photo Mike. I have not seen one of these in a long time.
