Worm Lizard

Worm Lizard

Worm lizards reach 1 to 2 ft in length and closely resemble earth worms. They have long slender bodies and scales arranged in rings which emulate the segments on an earthworm. They have very small eyes and only one species has any form of limbs. The lose of limbs and the rounded body are adapted to equip this lizard in its underground habitat. They are found in tropical and subtropical countries on both sides of the Atlantic. [BM] {FW}
