Diagnosis:
 This is the longest lizard in Kansas. No other limbless reptile in Kansas has eyelids or external ear openings. The Slender Glass Lizard is the largest lizard in Kansas and is characterized by a lack of limbs and an ear opening on each side of the head. This lizard is often mistakenly identified as a snake because it has no limbs, but its ear openings and eyelids that close distinguish it from snakes. Slender Glass Lizards are brown with dark stripes on the back and sides. The belly is white. The tail of this lizard makes up two-thirds of its entire length, but many of these lizards have much shorter, broken tails. Older adult males have white flecks and black speckling on the tan dorsolateral part of the body, particularly the anterior half, and grow larger than females. Females generally lack the dorsolateral markings, and in young males they are subdued.
Adults normally 560-900 mm (22-36 inches) in total length. The largest specimen from Kansas is a male (KU 207280) from Douglas County with a snout-vent length of 240 mm and a total length of 762 mm (30 inches) collected by Lance Good and John Kitterman on 13 May 1987. The maximum length throughout the range is 1181.1 mm (46½ inches) (Conant and Collins, 1998).
Distribution:
 This species is found throughout the eastern two-thirds of Kansas. However, it is rare or absent from Drift Hills, Loess Hills, Arkansas River Sand Prairie, and eastern Smoky Hills.

Fossil History:
 Pleistocene fossil specimens are known from Meade and Ellsworth counties. The Meade County record is outside the current known range of this species.
Reported from the WaKeeney Local Fauna of Trego County based on a left frontal, four nearly complete precaudal and caudal vertebrae, a partial right dentary, and maxillary fragment by Wilson (1968) (as Ophisaurus ventralis) and seven caudal and 21 body vertebrae by Holman (1976). The WaKeeney Local Fauna site is considered Lower Pliocene: Middle or Late Clarendonian (13,600,000 to 10,300,000 years BP).
Fossils from the Kanopolis Local Fauna of Ellsworth County (Pleistocene: Rancholabrean I) (Preston 1979, Holman 1972, Holman 1984; Holman 1995) are assignable to this taxon.
Fossils from the Mount Scott Local Fauna of Meade County (Pleistocene: Illinoian) (Preston 1979, Holman 1987; Holman 1995) are assignable to this taxon.
Fossils from the Butler Spring Local Fauna of Meade County (Pleistocene: Illinoian) (Tihen 1962; Preston 1979; Holman 1995) are assignable to this taxon.
Natural History:
 Fitch (1989) summarized 35 years of observation of 2,116 of these lizards in northeastern Kansas, and Platt (1985) studied them in Harvey County; much of my information is based on their observations.
The Slender Glass Lizard inhabits tallgrass prairie, sand prairie, open woodlands, and woodland edge, frequently near streams and ponds. It particularly thrives in areas with abundant abandoned rodent burrows which it uses for shelter. This reptile is active from late April to October at air temperatures ranging from 50° to 90°F. Heinrich and Kaufman (1985) found four of these lizards (one of which was killed in a prairie fire) on the Konza Prairie near Manhattan between 30 April and 2 October. Over a three-year period, Taggart (1992) observed 117 of these lizards in Ellis County; 103 were found on gravel roads (45 of them killed by vehicles) and fourteen on rocky hillsides.
This lizard is mostly diurnal and, during the warm summer months, is active in mornings and late afternoons, basking in the sun, foraging for food, or moving about in tall grass; an occasional individual is found active shortly after dusk. Afternoons (from 1300 to 1700 hours) are generally spent resting under shelter except during inclement weather. The coloration of this lizard blends extremely well in grassy areas, and it easily remains hidden provided it makes no movement. When disturbed, this reptile often escapes into the underground burrows of small mammals.
Slender Glass Lizards have a maximum home range of about one acre but evidently are not territorial. Population density in northeastern Kansas was estimated at 26 to 41 per acre, and preferred air temperature ranged from 61 ° to 75°F. With the onset of winter, these lizards remain in their summer areas and retreat underground into abandoned rodent burrows, deep enough to reach safety below the frost line.
This lizard breeds during May, and courtship probably involves the male pinning the female by biting her on the neck or back of the head before copulation. Females produce one clutch of eggs a year, normally from late June to mid-July. The clutch size ranges from 5 to 17 eggs (Fitch, 1985, 1989). Eggs are laid in a nest and the female remains with them until they hatch, an incubation period of about seven weeks. Newborn females generally require three to four years to reach sexual maturity.
Slender Glass Lizards eat insects, spiders, snails, frogs, snakes, and the newborn of small mammals. Hartman (1906) reported a specimen from Douglas County that contained three large grasshoppers, one cricket, and one large caterpillar. Predators of the Slender Glass Lizard include snakes, large birds, and mammals.
Occurrence Activity:
 Number of Unique Obervations (=days): 194; Range: 02 Jan to 10 Dec
Remarks:
 First reported in Kansas by Hallowell (1857) based on a specimen sent by Fort Riley surgeon William A. Hammond. The earliest existing specimen (Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates [CUMV 1530]) was collected in "Kansas" in 1860.
Gloyd (1932) mentions a specimen discovered by Clarence R. Collins in Miami County on 21 April 1928. It was found in a pile of leaves and attempted escape by backing down a hole in the soft ground.
The species is most observably abundant along the Saline River valley in Ellis and Russell counties where Taggart (1992) observed 117 individuals over a three-year period. Interestingly, they are conspicuously absent from the Smoky Hill River valley in the same counties.
Densities of this species in northeastern Kansas are estimated to be between 26 and 41 individuals per acre (Fitch, 1989).
Further effort is required to determine if the distributional hiatus between the northern Flint Hills populations and the mid-Smoky Hills populations is due to a paucity of collection effort.
Lavin (2016) and Lavin and Girman (2019) used twenty-five nuclear loci (15,191 bp) and 2090 bp of the mtDNA genome to generate a phylogeny containing all known species groups (of Anguinae: Glass Lizards) to explore species relationships within the group as well as divergence dating. All major lineages were found to be monophyletic with potential cryptic diversity in some (e.g. O. a. attenuatus and O. a. longicaudus were each monophyletic). The Anguinae first appeared in the Eocene and most lineages were present by the beginning of the Miocene. The Anguinae originated in Europe from an Anguidae ancestor that crossed the Thulean land bridge, spreading to Asia after the drying of the Turgai Sea, then across Beringia as the climate permitted. Ophisaurus attenuatus shares a more recent common ancestor with O. compressus, and that group with O. ventralis. Ophisaurus shares a more recent common ancestor with Dopasia (of southeast Asia) than it does with the European/Mediterranean/west Asian forms (Anguis, Hyalosaurus, and Pseudopus).
This reptile has a minimum natural longevity of nine years. Based on a captive specimen, Snider and Bowler (1992) reported a maximum longevity for this species of four years and eighteen days.
This species This animal habitually loses its tail when grabbed. Sometimes the tail breaks into several squirming parts. The lizard will grow a new tail, but never as long as the original.

Report on a lot of specimens received at the Museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences from Dr. Hammond of Ft. Riley Kansas. Of special note are three specimens of Phyrnosoma douglassii (=Phyrnosoma hernandesi) from Ft Riley (it does not naturally occur there and likely never did). Several of the specimens are marked Bridger's Pass (in Wyoming) (Western Milksnake, Plains Hog-nosed Snake, Slender Glass Lizard, and Western Tiger Salamander; all but the Slender Glass Lizard occur near there). A specimen of the Red-spotted Toad is reported as well, however, it does not occur near Ft. Riley, and as given "One Bufo punctatus, (young of Americanus)." there is some question as to its actual identity.

1927 Burt, Charles E. An annotated list of the amphibians and reptiles of Riley County, Kansas. Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan (189):12
Accounts on forty species known from the vicinity of Manhattan, Riley County, Kansas. There have been several scientific names changes since publication, which is understandable... however, some usages cannot be explained by subsequent taxonomic reappraisals(e.g.  Gastrophryne carolinensis for Gastrophryne olivacea). The writer lists Eumeces (=Plestiodon) obsoletus and E. guttulatus yet correctly reasoning that the latter is the young of the former. Within the account of Tantilla gracilis (a common form) the writer mentions that T. nigriceps was reported from Riley County by Branson (1904) but that the specimens at Kansas State were absent at the time of publication. The Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis) was first reported from Riley County by Branson (1904) and is reported by the writer based on a specimen in the museum at Kansas State University by Professor E. A. Popenoe. The Prairie Rattlesnake is not currently native to Riley County, and closest reliable localities are 150 to the west.

Report on certain Kansas specimens housed in the collection at what is now Pittsburg State University. Included are several species of dubious status today, including Cryptobranchus alleganiensis from the Neosho and Spring rivers (the only specimens from those significant drainages ever documented), Ambystoma maculatum from just north of Pittsburg, Crawford County, Heterodon nasicus from Crawford County, Opheodrys vernalis from Crawford County, Sonora episcopa from Crawford County, Agkistrodon piscivorus from Cherokee County, Crotalus atrox from Crawford County, and Crotalus viridis from Crawford County. They report several significant range extensions including Kinosternon flavescens from Turkey Creek in southeast Cherokee County, Graptemys geographica from just north of Pittsburg, Crotaphytus collaris from near Columbus, Cherokee County, Sceloporus consobrinus from just north of Pittsburg, Phrynosoma cornutum from Cherokee and Crawford counties, Heterodon platirhinos from Cherokee and Crawford counties, Haldea striatula from Crawford County, Sistrurus tergeminus from Crawford County, and a 402 lb Macrochelys temminckii in Cherokee County from just east of Chetopa (Labette County). They allude to the potential for Anaxyrus fowleri to occur in southeast Kansas and for native populations of Crotalus atrox in south central Kansas (in part from the disclosure that John R. Breukelman [then of ESU] had obtained three specimens in Woods County Oklahoma, 3/4 of a mile south of the Kansas line). None of the specimens the paper was based on, exist today.
