A homeowner walking their dogs in Micanopy came across a slender glass lizard, a legless reptile often mistaken for a snake. Unlike snakes, glass lizards have movable eyelids, external ear openings and rigid jaws. The species is also known for its fragile tail, which can break apart to help it escape predators.
