D'oh, well looks like I'll have to get back out
there and find something more obscure.
I thought I might get at least three 'funny snake' comments
before someone clued in, well done Brian and Tele.
Burton's legless lizard
Lialis burtonis
Diet cosists solely of small skinks, very jumpy, they can vocalise
making a toy trumpet type bark/squeak when alarmed. They are also nocturnal.
Apparently hardy in captivity if you can keep up, a supply of live skinks.
Does't take well to being handled however and the tail is cast readily.
Grows up to 60cm.
