Not in the right clade, basically.

They look similar, but aren't directly related. It's similar to why legless lizards aren't snakes, and bats aren't birds.

But snakes are legless lizards. Link to youtube

Edit: Wrong link, I'll leave the previous one anyways because it's also fun https://youtu.be/_5jNZyoSszE

Fair. I should have said that many legless lizards aren't snakes.
