ggg we get a few of those here as well. What I mean is a legless
amphibian though. I don't know what they're called!


I'm not aware of any legless amphibians in the UK! We've only got toads,
newts and frogs. I suppose you could call a tadpole a legless amphibian
;-)


Do you mean slowworm, aka legless lizard? It's a reptile, along with
lizards and snakes. Lives on small invertebrates, completely harmless, a
lovely thing to have in the garden.


Agreed, though perhaps the poster means DUCKWs, which have wheels, not legs?
