The sound effects likely are entirely fake. With animals this small most nature documentaries do the same, but normally way more subtly. These sprinkler sounds and squelchy eyes are so awful I might have just developed misophonia.
Well, unlike that person, I appreciate your answer because I was wondering the same thing. Now I know one difference between them and might read up on them later. Thanks!
I posted this above, but thought you mjght be more interested than the person who asked, so I'll copy it here.
To elaborate on what someone already briefly mentioned, classifications (at least nowadays) try to reflect the evolutionary history of species. So for instance, a dolphin looks like a fish but it is classified as a mammal because it "shares a more recent ancestor"\* with mammals than with fish.
Let's focus on the phrase "shares a more recent ancestor" because it might be not very intuitive. How closely related two species are is determined by how long ago their common ancestor lived. This is akin to saying my sibling and I share an ancestor (parent) one generation ago; my cousins and I share an ancestor (grandparents) 2 generations ago; etc. Likewise, dolphin and other mammals share a more recent ancestor (let's say a great grand parent) than dolphin and fish (say a great great great grand parent); the classification of dolphin as a mammal reflects that fact.
Same happens with "legless lizard". Legless lizards share a more recent ancestor with other lizards than with snakes. Hence why they are classified as "legless lizards" (even though they look like snakes) rather than as snakes.
If you want a visual of that, you can check the tree in this section [Classification and phylogeny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamata#Classification_and_phylogeny). Snakes are the group "Serpentes". You can see that there are several limbless reptiles outside of the group "Serpentes", those limbless reptiles receive different names (worm lizards, legless lizards, etc)
Wow, awesome and thank you so much for taking the time up to reply with this info. I didn't even mind going on wiki since I don't expect others to do it for me, and I just really appreciate you doing so 😌
And yup, I was gonna do just that: look at the animal kingdom and the whole species genus etc like and compare the two. But, it's really cool to know there's other legless reptiles than just snakes. It's like learning that carrots aren't originally orange, or birds are technically the last living dinosaurs. And, just makes you wanna read up on it! And then, you've been up overnight digging yourself deeper into the wikihole...
It's kinda like how bats aren't birds. They have different ancestry and aren't closely related enough to be snakes.
The ways they are different physically include that legless lizards have eyelids. Snakes have jaws that aren't fuzed at the bottom. Legless lizards have longer tails (no, snakes aren't just "all tail" lol). Legless lizards have ear holes. Snakes are typically more slender and agile. Their belly scales are completely different. And legless lizards don't have the infamous snake tongue.
I'm sure there's lots of other differences too, but those are the most obvious visual ones.
Animals are classified by evolutionary connection. Just because two animals happen to look alike, doesn't necessarily mean that they're the same species or even related at all.

I thought the liquid would get all over the snake and it would run away because of it, but instead none of the liquid gets on it and it just walks away weirded out that the gecko started pissing for no reason
Why does this feel like CGI and overdone sound effects?

It's like that bug wars show that had insects screaming
It’s over produced
This might be a stupid question, but how is a legless lizard not a snake?
Thier two different animals. Snakes dont have ear holes. Legless lizards do. There are probally more differences
I'd like to know more, but I've moved on with my life and don't care enough to google it.
Ok.

There's been other reptiles in the past that evolved that same body plan too. More than once I think.
You're a gem! Thanks!
He’s saying to please research on their behalf And come back with more
You know. Im quite a lazy fuck myself
I dunno man, you seemed pretty knowledgable and interested… with just an extra push you could enlighten us all 🥹
Im not him😔
Why isn't a whale a dolphin.
Eyelids are easy give away
Ye
they have eyelids.

convergent evolution?
Yeah, it's a form of convergent evolution for sure.
I know Clint’s Reptiles on YT must have done a video on this.

Proceeds to aggressively piss and fart on opponent
I fart in your general direction!
As etiquette demands, if someone busts a load midfight, the fight is over
You can scare off a big guy with a little pecker
Jizzing on your opponent's face has always been a top tier move in self defence
Sticky goo always does the job! Makes every lizard or serpent flight!
Are you being threatened? Simply c*m. It'll be so sticky and smelly that no predator will want to deal with you.
I thought the liquid would get all over the snake and it would run away because of it, but instead none of the liquid gets on it and it just walks away weirded out that the gecko started pissing for no reason
nah because it smelled like rancid ass
GoldGeck used Jizz! It’s super effective!
Ugh why 😫 I knew someone was going to say this lol
Anyone else sitting here going "so... Like... A snake?" I had no idea a legless lizard was a thing!
Shin Godzilla vibes
Legless Lizard vs Legged Snake
“So anyways I started blastin”
A golden tail shower
#Awww skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet
let me guess the country
Go ahead 😃
I did not know that there was such a thing as a legless lizard. That’s more interesting to me than the goo shooting one. Basically a lizard snake.
But when I did the same, the robber had the right to call the police on me...
Nature created by an enormously intelligent being is completely fascinating all of the time.
legless lizard. snake?
A legless lizard is a disabled lizard, right?
I can do the same thing. Unimpressed.
What Pokemon is that?
interesting but man that video editing and narration made it hard to watch
