NOT a snake but a legless lizard.

Yikes, looks like a snake to me.

Wow, I've never seen such a thing... glad he is harmless and helpful from the sounds of it!

If I saw one I would have thought it was a snake... but now I know.

He is so beautiful. I have never seen one of these though I've looked when I've been hiking in Europe. V

Gives you a thrill though if you suddenly find one in your hand - quite an experience!
