Anguidae

Anguidae is a family of lizards, some of which are limbless and all of which are harmless and useful in controlling slugs, worms, and insects. This family includes species commonly known as slowworms and glass lizards. These lizards are characterized by their elongated, often legless bodies, giving them a snakelike appearance. However, they can be distinguished from snakes by features such as external ear openings and movable eyelids. Anguidae are found in various habitats, including grassy areas, open woodlands, and loose soil. They primarily feed on invertebrates like snails, slugs, and earthworms.123
