Gm cuz, yes that is a legless lizard, glass snake or joint snake. I think there is another one that is a little diffrent in color. To the best of my memory they get to about 18 inches or so in length.and appear to have small scales instead of a skin like a snake. don markum heather e blair <h431@uchicago.edu> wrote: Oh yeah, my cat used to catch those little lizards -- well, she'd catch the tail and the rest would escape.
