Lizard’s Tail

Warning: Gross Alert
I’m sure most of you, if not all have heard of how lizards can detach their tails when caught in order to save themselves. But how many of you have actually seen it in action? I did… and I can assure you that the lizard’s self-preservation mechanism does in fact really work. And it works very well.
Here’s the case. I was about to sleep when I found a lizard in my room. Not that I hate lizards or anything, but I’d prefer not to sleep with lizards in my bedroom. It was hiding among some boxes in my room, so I slowly approached it and saw its tail jutting out. I knew I could get a good hold on the tail, and was pretty sure I could drag it out after that. Well, I did get a good hold on its tail. I held it for a while, thinking “GOTCHA!” – then I heard a tiny snap.
Only the tail was left wriggling in my hands =.=”
I’d show you the video of the tail wriggling if it wasn’t for the gross factor that would potentially devoid me of my readers for good. So I’ll stick to the picture for now.
The lizard really did let his tail snap off to save himself. And it worked brilliantly. So brilliantly that I had to sleep with it being in my bedroom. Oh well, it deserves credit for that anyway. Haha.
omg! i haaateeeeee lizzaarrd!

I had no intentions of killing it. I just didn’t want to have a lizard in my bedroom!

Oh yes… I like lizards… Like what ym said, it helps me to “eat” mosquitoes and insects…
Just so you know, last time I “fed” a lizard for dunno how many years, it grew until like an iguana size… no joke… it took me & my mom to work together to kill it… 1 bottle of cockroach spray was emptied to “neutralise” it.. ahhh… those memories…

I eat lizards for breakfast!
Okay, maybe I just kill them with my bare hands. But that isn’t barbaric! Really it isn’t!
