the audacity of lizards to become snakes boggles the mind
Aye.

>>5098497they've done it so many times that it's natural to them. In fact, they were the first to do it. Snakes are lizards.
>>5098528It's so retarded it's hard to imagine it's real. I desperately want one.
>>5098497>>5098509>>5098528how much frendlier are they than sneks?
>>5098549they're very docile and none of them are venomous.
>>5098550hmm urge to hold one rises, but I'll respect and leave them in the wild nonetheless...
>>5098528baenid :DDDDDDDD
>>5098528That looks like a penis with legs
>>5098563Congrats on your crazy long ribbed penis anon, you should do tentacle porn.
>>5098497>suck ass on flat surfaces >no expandable jaws>no venomThey're just snakes if you took away literally all of the snake's advantages
>>5098574They're cuter tho beit
>>5098509i bet i could beat him in an arm wrestle
>>5098497what makes a legless lizard still not a snake, according to taxonomists?
>>5098603Snakes are a specific lineage of legless lizards. The other legless lizards are more closely related to Geckos or Skinks or Gallimorphs, or Alligator Lizards than they are to the legless lizards we call snakes, because they evolved leglessness separately. They also tend to have anatomical differences like fused jaws, and skulls, longer tail to body ratios, eyelids, ear openings, etc etc.
>>5098497>uhhm ackshully that one's not ackshully a snake>it's ackshully a lizard that doesn't ackshully have legsbetter kiss my ass
>>5098550>very docileunless we're talking Sheltopusiks, those guys are assholes
>>5098649
>>5098528BIPES :DDDDD
>>5098497the audacity of snakes to become caecilians boggles the mind
>>5098661Lmao
>>5098659His distinctly unimpressed face reminds me of the mean cat I had for 13 years.
>>5098603well for one, legless lizards are 50% body and 50% tailsnakes are like 90% body, and 10% tailalso the legless lizard tails explode into a million pieces, hence why theyre also called glass snakes
>>5098976The one I found dead was like 1/3 body.
>>5098594Post arms
>>5098497snakes are themselves technically lizards
Amphibians did it before reptiles were even a thing.
>>5098976>legless lizard tails explode into a million pieceswat
the audacity of snakes to become prostitutes boggles the mind
>>5100128its exactly as is said, because theyre lizards, they can drop their tail, but their tails not only just fail off, they can break into segments
>>5100121When is it going to be the mammals turn to become snakes?
>>5100396There's possibly Proterix but it could also have just been a vanilla mammal.
>>5100396when one of the mammals with no fur on its belly that's relatively long adapts to tunnel life. Fairy Armadillo could have done it, but it went the mole route. Weasels and ferrets hypothetically could but I'm not buying it. Maybe a sister group, like badgers shrinking again, some of them have bellies that could be adapted to move them along. Maybe something like the honey badger.
>>5098614>tail to body ratiosIs there even a difference between the two at that point?
>>5100623yes, because that determines where the cloaca is
>>5100396>>5100520Never because mammal spines move up and down instead of serpentine. If they were legless they would move like a caterpillar which is retarded
>>5100771lots of mammals have adapted to horizontal movement, like ferrets.
>>5100396BORING, wake me up when we get a sausage bird
>>5100396see >>5100916
>>5100121>>5098721>Crocodiles ripped off Temnospondyls>Snakes ripped off Caecilians >Lizards ripped off Colosteidae Reptiles really did just rip off amphibians.
