Default Cool lizard!!
I came across this little animal in some research for school, and I just thought it was the coolest little guy!!! I don't even know if they are available in the pet trade or not. I just know they are not listed in the IUCN.

Bipes biporus, its an Amphisbaenian, which means its got no hind limbs. Its has forelims, the tiniest little eyes, and cutest little smile.
Also known as worm lizards, they are studied to help figure out the evolution of limblessness in reptiles.

I've found out that they are not available in the pet trade. Better for them.

I once saw something similar but quite a bit larger. No idea what it was but it had the front limbs just the same, and looked just as bizarre. Suppose it's only bizarre because we're not used to seeing them
