Insect Direct Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 yes the time frame would be very interesting indeed. i wonder what would happen if you bred an egg laying one, to one that is giving birth to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Also that `lizard` has a very snakelike head? and it looks like not much in the leg dept?So is it a snake developing legs or a lizard losing them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruru Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Also that `lizard` has a very snakelike head? and it looks like not much in the leg dept?So is it a snake developing legs or a lizard losing them?? Lizard losing legs. The difference between lizards and snakes is skull morphology which is why you can get legless lizards and snakes with residual hind legs.
