OT: legless lizards...

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Well, I haven't read any other replies, but that looks like a snake to me.  

A true legless lizard is a completely different thang.  They look like lizards...but without legs.
I know, I ran over one with a lawnmower once and had a good look.  BTW this was in Australia.

But I reckon that's a snake.

Eat it yet?
