If you flip them over, you'll also find that they have small scales on their bellies, similar to their sides, rather than wide belly plates like a snake. And if you locate the vent you'll see that 50% or so of the animal is tail where on a snake the tail is maybe 10-15% of the length (more in a few species but much less than on a legless lizard).

Of course, this example is missing a lot of it's tail...
