i just cought one of these yesterdy...I move a log on my back yard and one of these appeared moving like a worm and i cought it anyways....Does anybody knows whats the name of these strange creatures.

I suggested that if it is still alive take it to a pet shop and ask them if they can help you. For me truly my is not a lizard,newt or a salamander because the limbs are too apart from each other.

@apimpnamedreko Finally, someone's correct. It's specifically a lungless salamander. They don't move quickly or much, are moist, usually black with some brighter colors on them.

Looks like the same kind of critter found in Vietnam only much smaller. First thing I thought when I saw the larger one and then this smaller one was salamander. The one on Vietnam is huge.

The legs on a snake are used for latching onto its mate. {:-) Usually they are pulled inside the body or whatever something like that though. Ummm, yeah. {:-p They are useless for moving but it does look cool, kinda like a miniature Chinese Dragon. {:-p

It's a lizard, I live in Australia and we have lizards like this in our backyards... Very common. Of course this would be a different species to the ones I get in my backyard but if you look closely you will find it has ears!! Snakes don't have ears... We also have "legless lizards" which look similar to this but without legs (and yes, they too have ears)... You can tell snakes and lizards are closely related. Hope I helped!
