Found this little guy hiding under a brick in the garden. Pretty sure it’s a Fraser’s Delma. Look at his wee little leg, so not totally legless.

How do you tell apart a from a ?
Snakes lack eyelids in the same way that lizards have eyelids: instead, they have something called a brille, or a spectacle, which is a layer of immobile skin over the eyes. Snakes also lack external ear holes, tympanic membranes, middle ears, eustachian tubes, and a urinary bladder!
The legless lizard shown here is a skink, from the family Scincidae. Not all members of this family are legless!

I've been told that this a Burton's Legless Lizard, not a snake.

You can tell by its pointy face. Still startled me when I encountered it in the local bushland.
