The name "glass lizards" derives from tail autotomy of some species (i.e.,
some species can shatter their tails like glass to escape predation).
"Alligator lizards" refers to the thick osteodermal skin and rectangular
scales of some species. The limbless Anguis fragilis from England is
colloquially known as the slow worm.
