Lizards have ear slits and eyelids. Snakes do not. Glass lizards, while having no feet, do have ear slits and eyelids. That makes them a lizard rather than a snake.
Not all lizards have ear slits (genus cophosaurus). Not all lizards have eyelids (infraorder gekkota excluding the genus eublepharinae). Glass lizards, however, have both these parts.
A lizard is a reptile that typically has scales and four legs. A glass snake is a legless lizard that resembles a snake. A boomslang is a venomous snake found in Africa. An adder is a venomous snake found in Europe and Asia. A corn snake is a non-venomous snake commonly kept as a pet.
The glass snake, also known as the smooth snake (Ophisaurus ventralis), is a reptile that resembles a snake but is actually a legless lizard. It does not clean glass but rather burrows underground and feeds on insects and small invertebrates.
The legless lizard is often mistaken for a snake due to its long, slender body and lack of legs. Despite its snake-like appearance, the legless lizard is a type of lizard with eyelids and external ear openings, distinguishing it from snakes which lack these features. Legless lizards are found in various regions around the world and are expert burrowers.
It sounds like you may have found a legless lizard, also known as a glass lizard. These reptiles resemble snakes but are actually closely related to lizards. They have ear openings and movable eyelids, unlike snakes.
It is generally not recommended to bring a snake near a lizard as snakes are natural predators of lizards. There is a risk that the snake may see the lizard as prey and attack it. It is best to keep these animals separate to ensure their safety.
A glass snake isn't a true snake. It is technically a legless lizard. Believe it or not, there is a distinct difference between the two types of reptile.
