Found a cool little Eastern Glass Lizard. Judging by his tail. I think it might have met my Lawn Mower before. And than I starting cutting down a small tree and found a old birds nest. Its going to be used at the local Pre-school. The one teacher there loves my snakes sheds and such.

Glass lizards are just snakes that dont eat small animals just bugs and such. Those things can get 3'-4'.

Cool as hell anyway

The glass lizards or glass snakes, genus Ophisaurus, (from the Greek 'snake-lizard') are a group of reptiles that resemble snakes, but are actually lizards. Although most species have no legs, their head shape and the fact that they have movable eyelids and external ear openings make it obvious that they are lizards. A few species have very small stub-like legs near the rear vent. These animals are also known as Glass Snakes or Jointed Snakes. They reach lengths of up to 4 feet (1.2 m), but approximately two-thirds of this is the tail. Glass lizards feed mainly on insects.

I am pretty sure it is. Kind of jumped on me. I caught him. Than snapped a few shots. Released him in the yard. And he was sitting on the window sill when I was moving my car.
