Hey Guys,
Driving home last night i swerved to avoid something snake-like and brown on the road. I ran back to grab it but as i shined the torch on it the next car that came through and hit it. I realised it was a Brtons Legless Lizard and as i bent over to pick up the animal i realised it was very much alive and squealing. It dropped a small amount of its tail but there was a considerable amount of body that was mangled. I put it in a container last night (Before anyone questions yes i am licenced to do this) and when i went to check on it, i found it had dropped that part too.
I've never kept Burtons before but i am curious to know from other Burtons keepers and anyone who may have dealt with injured wildlife like this,....
1. Is this Burtons gravid?
2. Does it appear from any photos that this animal may be suffering from internal bleeding. The colouration on the belly is not something i have seen with Burtons before.
Cheers for any info guys.
