	Slender Glass Lizard
		Slender glass lizards tend to prefer drier habitats than eastern glass lizards and are common in old field and sandhill habitats.
		With the predator distracted by the wriggling tail, the lizard is free to escape.
		Unlike snakes, lizards have rigid jaw bones and thus are unable to eat meals larger than the size of their head.

	Encyclopedia: Glass
		Float glass is made by melting glass and feeding a thin layer onto a tank of molten tin in a nitrogen atmosphere.
		Glass is produced in standard metric thicknesses of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 19 and 22 mm.
		If glass flows at a rate that allows changes to be seen with the naked eye after centuries, then changes in optical telescope mirrors should be observable (by interferometry) in a matter of daysâ”but this also is not observed.

	Slender Glass Lizard, Ophisaurus attenuatus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Glass lizards have no legs at all and are snake - like in body shape, but they have scalation similar to the skinks.
		Glass lizards have movable eyelids, external ear openings, a lateral groove along the side of the body from the neck to the vent, a rigid feel to their body, and the ability to detach their tails- all characteristics snakes lack.
		Glass lizards are suffering from decline due to habitat destruction (flat, open prairie areas are first to go), pesticides, and forest encroachment.

	MSN Encarta - Lizard
		Most lizards are small, with four legs and a long tail that in many species is fragile and easily broken but will regenerate; the tail of such arboreal species as the chameleon is adapted for grasping branches.
		The legs of some lizards are greatly shortened, or vestigial, making animals such as the glass lizard or slowworm snakelike in appearance; they are distinguished from true snakes by their movable eyelids and by differences in the structure of the skull bones, especially those of the lower jaw.
		Lizards are found in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world; few species are found in temperate regions and none in arctic areas.

	[No title]
		Glass Lizards can be readily distinguished from snakes by the presence of moveable eyelids and by the visible ear holes at the side of the head, neither of which are found in any species of snake.
		Glass Lizards do not have the extendable jaws that snakes possess, and care must be taken to not feed them prey that is too big for them to swallow.
		Glass Lizards are not often bred in captivity, and nearly all of those available in pet shops and dealer lists have been taken from the wild.

		On one of the many circuits up and down the fltop roads near the state line, we finally caught one of these lizards out on the road surface, and managed to slap hands on it before it could get off the road and into the brush.
		With Glass Lizards, it is better to 'slap' than grab; grabbing leads to a handful of broken off, wriggling tail!
		Judging from the numbers of glass lizards we spotted on them, it would appear that the grassy, elevated shoulders of roads are favorite (and potentially lethal) habitats.
