The tips are very much OK, that's where/how you find them.
However, pardon an intrusion like this, but ever since I found my first Pseudopus apodus, I’ve
failed to understand the obsession of so many people with (finding) this particular species.
They just don’t deserve it (the beasts, not the people...) If one just wants to make a YES tick
on his/her species list, and brag about it here or elsewhere, OK, but the whole idea looks
much like philately to me.
I apologize to all the "philatelists" around here - just ignore me.

And why would you think this? I don't see what makes them less interesting animal than any other species.

does this species run away fast when it hears someone walking nearby, like most snakes?

Yes, they can be surprisingly fast. And being a lizard, it can actually HEAR you passing nearby.
So in most cases they shoot away and don't pause to give you a chance.

If you are very lucky, you might come across an individual that just stays put. Not often, but
it does happen.
Good luck!

Maybe you're an early riser, which I'm not. I guess they are pretty "lazy" in the early morning, or early spring,
while still rather cold, but when it gets hot, they do "burn the fuel" to disappear very quickly. (My personal observations, not the scientific/statistical truth.)
