Does this guy get the shovel?

Technically, it's a Glass Lizard - but it pretty much looks and acts like a snake due to its obvious lack of shoulders. So what says the OB? KIWF? Judge to the head? Or does this guy get a pass?

My dad ran across one in Kiln a few weeks ago. It actually did the thing like other lizards where it loses its tail as a defense mechanism. Said it was beautiful and looked iridescent in the sun. I'd love to catch one, or even just see one in the wild. If he had kept it, it would have joined the rest of mine in a cage.
