We have tons of these little fuckers all around the outside of the house, but this one has been popping up quite a bit lately. So I ask you TWW.....What the fuck happened to his tail?

5/10/2010 6:27:08 PM

It appears to have been cut/ripped off by something.

The other day I came home and there were 2 of those bitches on my front porch. One of them had the other's head in it's mouth. Do these fuckers eat each other?

5/10/2010 6:29:56 PM

that's how they procreate

one eats another, then poops out two more

the beauty of life

5/10/2010 6:35:10 PM

I might be biting on troll bait but don't they lose their tailes when they are frightened/picked up by their tails?

5/10/2010 6:46:15 PM

No troll bait here, I am genuinely curious. If that is the case, that's pretty fucking sweet. I love living in the country!

5/10/2010 6:47:24 PM

^2 that's what I was going to say

5/10/2010 6:48:36 PM

They fight, I believe.

Also, I'm pretty sure they can grow back lost tails, legs, etc...

5/10/2010 6:49:43 PM

some lizards loose their tail on purpose when they feel threatened so the attacker/predator will eat the tail and then the lizard gets away, they grow new ones

5/10/2010 6:49:44 PM

It will be pretty cool watching it grow back (assuming he doesn't get eaten by something)

5/10/2010 6:49:58 PM

Yeah many lizards have detachable tails.

If you grab them by the tail it comes off and keeps swinging around by itself for a few minutes.

The lizard will eventually grow another tail.

5/10/2010 6:50:31 PM

^^Lol ok.

They lose it and it still wiggles around as a defense mechanism/distraction and hopefully it can get away. I hope Geico makes a commercial regarding this phenomenon.

did you guys notice the shadow of my penis in the background?

5/10/2010 6:52:34 PM

I did

I also noticed your green penis in the picture
and became instantly envious of your dragon penis tattoo.

5/10/2010 6:53:55 PM

looks like a skink to me

but yeah, he lost his tail in a battle or shed it to trick a predator...it'll def grow back

5/10/2010 6:54:06 PM

did you just call my penis a skink?

5/10/2010 6:55:12 PM

yall ever do the lizard ear ring thing when you were young, i wish i still had those pics

5/10/2010 6:56:00 PM

LOL

your penis is a skank

^wat?

lizards will bite down on your ear lobs and just stay there for hours until you take them off lemme see if i can find a picture, oh, and it doesnt hurt at all

5/10/2010 6:58:15 PM

5/10/2010 6:58:56 PM

Well I got skinks for days out here. If anyone is looking to adopt a skink, let me know.

5/10/2010 7:00:16 PM

haha, cool--I'd try that, but don't think I could catch a lizard...they're so fast (or I'm so slow)

5/10/2010 7:01:49 PM

Well this little bastard is probably slow, hence the fact that he lost his tail.

5/10/2010 7:02:43 PM

i'll catch ya some next time i come to raleigh

5/10/2010 7:02:53 PM

One of these little buggers got in the house yesterday. I think I brought it in with the dog bed. I can't catch the fucker!

6/15/2010 11:24:35 AM

wtf, i want skinks and lizards and frogs n cool stuff in my yard.

6/15/2010 11:30:07 AM

im sure they are in your yard

if you can keep up with em for about 15 seconds theyre easy to catch

lizards have no gas

OMG which end is his head and which end is his tail

tricky little amphibians!

6/15/2010 11:38:52 AM

I've always wanted to see one's tail fall off. It would be so weird to have regenerative body parts.

6/15/2010 11:40:26 AM

they more break off than fall off

6/15/2010 11:42:59 AM

my project in AP Biology was testing the effects of common vitamins on Planarian regeneration. vitamin C killed them all within minutes of contact

6/15/2010 11:44:08 AM

also isnt it true that they only have regenerative capability if you split them the short way


if you split them longitudinally they die
