Is this a snake? Nope. It's a eastern Glass Lizard (Ophisaurus attenuatus longicaudus)
What is a glass lizard? It's a strange lizard without legs, so it looks like a snake and moves like one too. A reptile disguised as another reptile? So cool!
One of the great things about filming out in nature is that you never know what you might find. In this case, the Wild Wander team came upon two unusual reptiles hanging out together in the middle of a road while on the way to a shoot. What are these creatures and why were they hanging out together? Watch to find out!
Special Note After one take, these two animals were carefully ushered off the road and stayed together afterwards. We were careful to minimize disturbance of their...ahem...activities.

I've been herping for almost my entire life, and this is the first time I've ever come upon something like this.
I always felt so bad when I killed one by mowing the lawn. It got to the point where I had to let the dog out first to run them away before I mowed.
My compliments to your video production! Good stable video, lavalier mic to improve your audio dialogue quality, a good on screen personality delivering some focused dialogue, and it has a nice message that educates and informs your viewers. Nice and short, solid edit. Please keep being awesome.
We really appreciate this feedback. It's a labor of love, but we strive to keep improving on every front. 🙂
They’re all over my neighborhood here in Florida.
Deliver them to my home, please
Yall deserve the world. Best channel! Thanks for being you!
Wow, thank you so much! We hope to keep this train rollin' if we can find a sponsor to help us make it happen in a big way.
Really looks like a snake. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
Thank you!
this is a lizard
Lizard. This
A lizard is this
We have these in forests and they are friendly
Guess Valentine's Day came a little early for these two! So cool to see such interesting behavior!
I'm guessing these are likely related to the "slow worms" we have in the UK
Yes! Same family (Anguidae), though a different genus.
We see them all the time just north of Gainesville Florida.
Found two a these bad boys the other day. It seems they hang in pairs and could be way deeper in a social life than we know
Remember: all snakes are lizards
But not all lizards are...lizards...
Awesome little critters. I have never seen two in the same place! Way to go!
It was an amazing thing to come across! I'm just glad we came upon them before another car did.
Amazing video very informative!
We appreciate the feedback! :D
Wouldn't it make sense that these are transitional snake like lizards?
Literally a lizard evolving into a snake
Have 'em in my brush piles midtown Tally. Elusive critters!
They feel completely different from snakes in your hand tho
0:39: False. Snakes are squamata just like all other lizards. It is impossible to form a monophyletic group of lizards without including snakes, ergo snakes are lizards. They also have fused eyelids, not "no eyelids."
Charleston SC has plenty of them
It is really hard to find out them frm snake
I just found one in my backyard
Crazy how much they look like a skink
The first one I found was in my home rafters. The way it was set up should've been impossible for it to get up there.
Oh, Wow! Two snakes together? That's crazy!
But you know what? I've seen something WAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More crazier than That! I have seen Five snakes together! FIVE!
their tail will wiggle while the lizard runs away
hmm running? they can grow legs?
They don't run or grow legs. They essentially slither, as you can see in the video. We don't film with scripts, so occasionally we use phrases like that that aren't as accurate as they'd be if this was completely scripted. However, we hope that the "off-the-cuff" presentation is more interesting than something that's memorized and stiff.
Neat!
I just found one of these in my front yard for the first time in my life and now I’m down the rabbit hole lol I live in plantation Florida by the way
I think roads that experience reptiles crossing Them should have signs that warn cars to stop if a reptile is crossing the road it makes sense to Me. so the deaths of the reptiles can decrease
I agree!
Talks about road dangers...while laying on road...
Mark Rober?
They look like the basilisk from Harry potter
Looks like mud eels
Are they Venomous?
Nope! The only truly venomous lizards are those in the Heloderma genus, the gila monster and the beaded lizards.
some lizards seem to have pretty impressive bites though
@@smievil Absolutely!
I saw one last week mowing my yard here in Florida, and caught one today in a customers yard while landscaping. I'll let it go after I get home and show my kids, but I've only seen a few in my whole life and most were in pet stores
I just found one of these cuties poking his head out from a burrow in my new garden bed! Very happy to have his company -- another facet of a well-balanced, bio-diverse backyard! My next challenge is so incorporate a wildlife pond! 🌿
Amazing! You're lucky to have such a cool species in your backyard. You're clearly doing something right!
A snake is an also a lizard without legs lmao , so essentially these are no different than snakes. Snakes evolved from lizards
