[RepTylE]

Where on earth did you find one of those things ?

[JD@reptiles]

[RepTylE]

must have been Menagerie

[sapphire_moon]

What do those things eat? And how the hell do you classify it? snake, lizard, sizard? lol

[snakehunter]

is it a cecilian or an amphiuma? yes, i agree it does look like 'it' my brother made the same coment when he saw a pic of it in a book

[enso]

Belongs to the Amphisbaenid family. That is North America's only species.

[Vanan]

Which species issit? Cool find dood! :)

[snakehunter]

so its an amphiuma right? but are they air breathers, the ones ive seen wernt. enliighten me

[enso]

Species is Rhineura floridana. Yes, an air breather. No external eye or ear openings. Lays 1-3 eggs in summer, hatch in early fall. A burrower. Lives underground searching for earthworms and termites. Mockingbirds ocasionally unearth a worm lizard while searching for earthworms. *Taken from The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Reptiles and Amphibians*
