Synopsis

From the lizard family of sneaks lives in Germany only one representative: the often unfamiliar and haunted blind sneak pursued by unknowledgeable as a "snake", but which is not only a completely harmless, but even very useful member of our fauna as a pest destroyer. It is protected by nature. The blind creak is a footless lizard, as well as the considerably larger, native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, also useful Scheltopusik (tank snake), a "natural monument of Crimea". However, these two most well-known representatives represent only two end links of development within the Schleichenfamilie. The majority of their species, mainly found in South, Central and North America, have four well-trained legs. The present volume deals with the tribal history and the physical peculiarities of the sneaks acquired in adaptation to the most diverse environmental conditions, as well as the systematics and zoogeography of this lizard family. Besorders is discussed in detail on physique, distribution, lifestyle, behavior, nutrition, reproduction and worthiness of the two European species as well as their attitude in the terrarium.
