The common scaly-foot (Pygopus lepidopodus) is a widespread species of legless lizard in the Pygopodidae family.

When threatened, the scaly-foot flashes its thick, fleshy tongue, in an apparent mimicry of snakes.

[3] The scaly-foot reportedly also eating other lizards in captivity, and vegetable matter,[4] with a preference for bananas.

[1] The scaly-foot is snake-like in appearance, up to 80 cm in length with a noticeable "keel" or ridge on the top.

Considered an easy to keep species,[2] a license is required to keep the common scaly-foot as a pet in Australia.
