What particular species of glass lizard are you looking for as there are a number of different species of glass lizards. The various species' fully grown adult size varies from about one foot to 4 feet depending on which species of glass lizard you
are looking to get. IOWs you should probably be a bit more
specific as far as which particular species of glass lizard you
are looking for. I imagine someone sells them online. You might wanna try:

Hope that helps. Peace.

The breeder/importer Mark M. Lucas has had them in the past I believe, and also Diamond Reptile. However, you're best off looking for someone selling Sheltopusiks, aka Russian Legless Lizards or European Glass Lizards. Though they are the largest of the legless lizards they are by far the most robust and not nearly as delicate or secretive as other species of legless lizards can be. They also have a fairly broad diet which can be accomodated readily in captivity. I suggest doing some research online regarding the various genera and species of legless lizards. If you have questions regarding Sheltopusiks feel free to send me an email through the kingsnake forums.
