I got a chance to hold one when I was in Sand Diego recently. I don’t think they would make as good of a pet as a snake. They are very stiff compared to snakes. They don’t seem to tolerate being handled as well as something like a python. I guess it’s just my opinion, but one of the things I like about my snakes is that they hold on to you when you handle them, and the legless lizards don’t do that at all. If you want a snake, get a snake. These really aren’t very much like snakes at all.

they are ok to handle once they are settled. i havent been bitten ( but they might not even have teeth)
but my kitten is a bit of a pest and doesnt stop trying to get to it. but if you want a tameable snake, get a corn snake or something similar. food is also easier to get with a snake as you can put mice in a freezer and not worry about where it will be in the morning .
