Marvolo is a European legless lizard, or Sheltopusik, and is hiding in a piece of Mopani driftwood. He pokes his head out of a hole as though he were a moray eel underwater.

Marvolo, my male legless lizard, thinking he's hiding.

Shelly, a European Legless lizard, or sheltopusik, stretches out on one of her branches in her enclosure. Legless lizards tend to prefer being on the ground or burrowing as opposed to climbing, so this behavior is a bit unusual for her. Since he coloring is similar to the branch, it does make her look like she could be an extension of the wood.

Shelly fancies herself to be a stick, apparently.

Full enclosure cleanout and reset for the sheltos. They're enjoying the fresh dirt and being able to tunnel under those branches. They are also enjoying climbing over those branches. #enrichment #sheltopusik #leglesslizard #reptiles 🦎

Marvolo likes to cosplay as a bullwhip. Marvolo is a Sheltopusik, or European legless lizard. He is not a snake!
