Rare Blind Lizard Found in Zagreb Garage
The Zagreb Animal Shelter responded to an unusual call regarding a reptile discovered in a garage of a family home in Remetinec. Initial contact with the homeowners prompted a request for photographic evidence, which revealed a surprising find. The creature was identified as a blind snake, a type of lizard resembling a snake.
Despite its appearance, authorities clarified that it was not a venomous snake. The animal’s presence in Zagreb is considered atypical, as blind snakes are not native to the region. Shelter officials believe the lizard likely traveled to the city as a “blind passenger,” requiring permission to incorporate content from social networks and third-party providers for further information.
The origin of the animal is currently unknown, though investigators suspect the owners may have acquired it from Konavle, a municipality near Dubrovnik. Specifically, the reptile is believed to be a blind lizard, belonging to the blind snake family, which is also common in Slovenia. Experts emphasized that this was a blind lizard, not a snake, and highlighted the unusual nature of its arrival in the zagreb area.
Further investigation is underway to determine the precise circumstances of its discovery.
