Never heard of this animal nor even an industry. Must be new. Pets or food? The guy said sauté, grill. They say tasty, I imagine more tasty than pigs because they’re are fed pretty nice food.

Good guess, they look a cross between a snake and a lizard. Some spieces don’t even have legs.

Tehachapi area residents working in their yard occasionally uncover a smooth, shiny lizard with small legs and a pale olive coloration. The secretive lizards typically disappear as quickly as they were discovered, wriggling into the leaf litter and vanishing.

These distinctive creatures are known as skinks, and the species most often found in the Tehachapi Mountains is the Western Red-tailed Skin (Plestiodon gilberti rubricaudatus).

Skinks almost seem to be a cross between a lizard and a snake: they have a slick, polished feel and appearance like a snake, without a discernible neck, but they have the legs and body shape of a lizard.
