Mr Wigglesworth - legless lizard (sheltopusik)

Scientific name is
✨Pseudopodus apodus✨
which mean “false foot”, “no foot” and I find that to be a bit of overkill in reference to their lack of foot-y-ness.

Borderline rude really.

Legless lizards are not snakes. Lizards have ear openings and moving eyelids, and snakes do not.

Thanks @thegsyscientist.bsky.social for the tip!
