I don't know..There are legless lizards but this seems odd. The body is much too long for any legless lizard I've seen. And those feet. They're much more reminiscent of a turtle than a lizard. I'd guess it's an extremely good photoshop..

Your welcome. The animal is native to the Baja region of North America. Mexico, I think.

That is a pretty cool looking lizard. I myself really like reptiles. Oh and mr halo, a legless lizard is different from a snake. Legless lizards have a groove like deal on their sides.
