Florida is home to the nation’s most dangerous invasive lizard. Experts say there’s potential for its presence to expand

This is a Florida worm lizard (Rhineura floridana), also called a thunderworm! While this looks like an earthworm, it's a burrowing legless reptile. The rings are actually scales and they use that flat snoot like a shovel. They mostly eat insects and earthworms, and are usually less than 12 inches long. And no, they don't bite! They're sometimes called thunderworms because they can get flooded out of their burrows during our big Florida thunderstorms. This species lives almost exclusively in Flo

But I already let the worm lizard go back into the wild so there’s no redoing the video after properly reading up 😂. “Amphisbaen” is a term often used colloquially to refer to any member of the family Amphisbaenidae, which includes the group of reptiles commonly known as worm
