The snake is a long-legged reptile. Snakes have scales like lizards and are equally classified into scaly reptiles (Squamata). The difference is lizards are generally legged, have ear holes, and eyelids that can be opened close. However, for non-legged lizard cases (eg Ophisaurusspp.) This distinction becomes blurred and can not be used as a handle. but the snake can still be distinguished because the snake has no ears and eyelids.
