Worm Lizard

Worm lizard, partially or entirely limbless burrowing lizard of the family Amphisbaenidae. All worm lizards lack hind limbs and most species lack forelimbs as well. Except for their size, they are very similar in appearance to earthworms, with cylindrical bodies ringed by shallow grooves. Their eyes and ears are covered by skin. Most are about a foot (30 cm) long. Members of many species remain underground most of their lives, feeding on earthworms, spiders, and insects. Worm lizards are found in tropical and warm temperate areas of Africa, SW Asia, S Europe, and the Americas. The only species found in the United States is the Florida worm lizard, Rhineura floridana, of N and central Florida, which attains a length of 11 in. (28 cm). Worm lizards are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Reptilia, order Squamata, family Amphisbaenidae.

How big do Anacondas get?

Anacondas can get up to 10 meters long and 550 pounds.

Can Anacondas be pets?

To legally own an Anaconda as a pet you will need to have a special license for handling deadly animals. Most of the time, it is simply illegal to possess an anaconda because of the danger involved.

When they are young they have a couple of predators such as, Jaguars, Caimons, large birds and crocodile. As the Anaconda gets older and bigger they become the top of the food chain, but still have one predator, humans.

Anacondas are found east of the Andes in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and on the island of Trinidad and Tobago.
