  • hardcorelilmiss, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4Way to recycle! haha
  • meghani, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5I now know more than I ever care to about lizards' skin shedding habits.
  • LaurenElder, on 07/22/2008, -2/+2He thinks the lizard's dying because it turned white but it's actually shedding.

    Is this really newsworthy?
  • bmph8ter, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I guess it's good for the environment. Is it worse than dogs that eat their own poop?
  • robotcrawler, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2You could make soup with the lizard skin...
  • nneader007, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1What? Is this a racist story. :)~
  • NetworkMeUp, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I dugg this because nahsrocketeer75 is awesome
  • hollywoodphony, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3I had 2 chameleons as a kid. One day, I looked in the tank and there was only one chameleon and one disembodied tail remaining.
  • bmph8ter, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Creepy. Is that common with chameleons?
  • theadvinci, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Talking about shedding skin. I saw a snakes skin liyng around in the woods. When I approached it and wanted to pick it up I discovered it wasn't a shedded skin, it was a dead snake. Believe me... that was disturbing
  • highlymodified, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Own skin? OM NOM NOM NOM
  • jonathandyer, on 07/23/2008, -2/+1I was only interested in this because the picture looks almost identical to my gecko, but "What the Geico Gecko doesn't tell you..." is a terrible name for this. I'd call it something more along the lines of "White supremacist gecko fools all" or "Cannibalistic gecko pulls a fast one". Just something to get more interest and lols, either way the story isn't worthy of front page.
  • ColonelTribune, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Damn corporate mascots. (Sarcasm.)
