   note: they are closely related to the snakes, and like the
         latter, usually have the body covered with scales or
         granules. they usually have eyelids, and most of then
         have well-formed legs; but in some groups
         amphisbaena, glass-snake, etc. the legs are absent
         and the body is serpentlike. none are venomous, unless
         heloderma be an exception. the order includes the
         chameleons, the cionocrania, or typical lizards, and
         the amphisbaenas. see amphisbaena, gecko, gila
         monster, and lizard.
