The “four-legged snake” is commonly known as the lizard and Chinese Skink, belonging to the family Lizard. Because it has the word “snake” in its name, many people are afraid of being poisoned after being bitten by it. Actually, the “four-legged snake” is neither a snake nor does it bite humans. It is about 20 cm long, with a very long tail accounting for about 2/3 of its total length. The whole body is covered with scales. It has an obtuse round snout of 1.5 times the eye diameter, with its nostrils in the center of the nasal scales. There are 2-3 small scales between the nasal scales, the snout scales and the first upper lip scales. Its head scales vary in size, all ribbed. Its tympanic membrane is covered with small scales. Developed eyelids can move, and the pupils are round. Its dorsal scales and lateral scales are smaller, and the center dorsal iguana scales become smaller near the back and disappear at the tail. It has a row of keeled scales on each side.
