The Brigalow scaly-foot (Paradelma orientalis), also known as the Queensland snake-lizard, is a species of legless lizard in the family Pygopodidae.

[3] The species is restricted to dry woodlands and rocky escarpments in the Brigalow Belt region of southeastern Queensland.

[4][5] Paradelma orientalis is rated as Least Concern by the IUCN, as it is fairly common and widely distributed among suitable habitat.

However, the Brigalow Belt ecoregion has been heavily modified by cattle grazing, agricultural development, and wildfires, as well as invasive species such as cats, pigs, and foxes.

The species may be experiencing slow population decline as a result of these threats, and may have been much more abundant before the arrival of Europeans.
