The Family Dibamidae consists of a group of small, legless or nearly legless lizards commonly known as blind skinks. They are burrowing reptiles found mainly in Southeast Asia and Mexico, living in soil or leaf litter. Dibamids have elongated, cylindrical bodies, reduced or absent limbs, and vestigial eyes covered by scales, adaptations suited for a subterranean lifestyle. They are secretive and rarely seen, feeding on small invertebrates, and are oviparous (egg-laying). This family is considered primitive within squamates, offering important insights into the evolution of limb reduction and fossorial adaptations in lizards.
