blindworm
A blindworm, also known as a slowworm, is a small, legless lizard typically found in Eurasia. Despite its name, it is not blind; its name comes from the small size of its eyes. Blindworms are unique because, although they look like snakes, they can blink and have a unique method of shedding their skin.
Webster Dictionary
Blindwormnoun
a small, burrowing, snakelike, limbless lizard (Anguis fragilis), with minute eyes, popularly believed to be blind; the slowworm; -- formerly a name for the adder
