Ophisaurus ventralis
''Ophisaurus ventralis'', the eastern glass lizard, is a legless lizard species found in the Southeastern United States.
==Description==
Adults grow to in length, although the head-body length is only at most. There are 99 or more scales along the lateral groove. In this species, no dark longitudinal stripes are present below the lateral groove or under the tail, and there is no distinct mid-dorsal stripe. The neck is marked with a series of mostly vertical, or highly irregular, white marks, with white markings on posterior corners of scales. Dorsally, older specimens have a pattern consisting of numerous longitudinal dark lines or dashes. Occasionally, similar parallel lines cover the entire mid-dorsal area. Older adults may be greenish above and yellow below; this is the only ''Ophisaurus'' species that may have a greenish appearance. Juveniles are khaki-colored and usually have two dark stripes that run down the back.〔Conant R. 1975. A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America. Second Edition.
