A study of a population of the slender glass lizard in Waushara Co., Wisconsin

Abstract

The slender glass lizard (Ophisaurus attenuatus), a limbless member of the family Anguinidae, is one of the few lizards found in the state of Wisconsin. Records indicate that it is found locally in several sandy areas in the southern half of the state but little was known about its abundance in any of these areas before the present study was conducted in 1973 and 1974.
