It looks like a snake but is a limbless lizard. Due to its color it is in Swedish called "kopparorm" which means "cupper snake". It is totally harmless. In English it is called slow worm (Anguis fragilis) or blindworm. It is famous for its ability to shed its tail when an enemy grabs it. It is common in Svångemåla as well as in most of southern Sweden.
