ImageShack.usalso if seems a snake, is'nt a snake...infact is a lizard. Legs were "lost" during his evolution.
This little fellow is probably now hunting again worms and similar, if you find another sample please don't kill him, is not venomous at all, it's usefull to control insects proliferations, and could live over 50 years according to recent studies.
Hope jou enjoi,
ciao from Italy
Alfredo
