: Okay, I forgot to mention the legless lizards. But, in my defense,
: it was only because I was having so much fun typing that particular
: post, that I neglected to get into details.

: are more commonly known, differ from snakes in three respects:
: First, and most obviously, they are lizards, and not snakes;
: Second, glass lizards are easy to distinguish because of their

: all species can blink their eyelids- snakes can't. (though snakes DO
: have two sets of invisible eye membranes that keep their eyes moist.
