There are legless reptiles besides snakes that slither across the ground in North Carolina. Here’s what to know about them.

It may not have been a snake, but, instead, a legless lizard. The eastern glass lizard can be a common sight throughout South Carolina and most of the southeastern region of North America.

The slender glass lizard, which is usually tan or brown with long stripes along the length of its body, can grow as large as 42 inches long, and that would be a very large example, Owens said.

California legless lizards can be found in a large part of the state. The U.S. Forest Service said the lizards can be found from Antioch to Baja California, Mexico, in elevations up to 6,000 feet.
