When excited, does your lizard move by itself or jump?

as i can remember there are only a few study in that topic but not yet proven in a large scale.\nbut 1 thing i know is that snakes feel it first. How?\nBecause they live underground.\nyou see earthquake is a seismic activity beneath the surface. they travel in waves. and when i say they travel.\nbecause snake lives underground they feel the waves first even if the waves are weak. but if the waves gets stronger and stronger they leave their homes.\na good example of these is water in a tub. like a bath tub if you cause a seismic activity or knock or hit at one end of the tub, there are ripples that represents these waves. if you hit the tub harder you will produce a bigger ripples. \njust like in quakes, weak waves are first detected then higher and higher. \nhope you got what i meant.

I go into a frenzy and jump up and down, trying to reach it and claw it off of me.  If that doesn't work, I scream at whomsoever is closest, "GET IT!!!"  LOL!\n\nI'm with Pompeii and poor Seddie...I think I am too.  I hate creepy crawlies and did I mention that I scream at the top of my lungs? LOL!  Funny question!

It is my understanding that rolling a bird egg equalizes the heat generated by the nesting mother, while for the reptile, the nest of decaying vegetation provides a pretty equal heating.\n\nThe bits before about the embryo attachment are true- and it would be interesting to researh the differing pathways these species took. Obviously, being able to heat your eggs on your own means you can and must protect them, which seems to logically flow into raising them at least a little. \n\nThis also means your young can be less developed at birth- unable to feed or care for themselves... it all sort of flows together, doesn't it?

With legs, they usually walk.  \n\nElsewise, they fly, crawl, or swim.\n\nDuh.

I have an iguana and birds, when I'm depressed I get out my iguana from his house and he lets me pet him to my hearts content,but any pet will do, don't be surprised if they come to you, animals do sense when you are feeling blue, depressed, crying, or this just isn't your day. I had my birds come to me and sit on me when I lost one of my iguanas a few months ago, her death really hit me hard, they stayed close for 2 days. There's nothing like a pet's love to you during that time.

I think you mean anole lizards. They do change color, but they are definitely NOT chameleons.

All the dragons i know are super sweet.They are very calm even when upset.They can be a little wild and need to be brought back down to earth but other than that depending on your sign they're great as far as i know.

It depends upon the snake. They usually can move at about 20 mph when frightened.

Mmm... there are many kinds of legless lizards. I don't know where you live, but if it looked like its tail was missing, then it _was_ a lizard, because snakes do not autotomize their tails. Another good detail is if it looked like it had eyelids. Snakes don't have mobile eyelids, but snake-like lizards do.\n\nDid it look anything like this?\nhttp://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/f/f6/200px-Anguidae.jpg\nhttp://homepage.mac.com/jmdelacre/.cv/jmdelacre/Sites/.Pictures/reptiles-geniez/Chalcides-minutus2-web.jpg-thumb_269_202.jpg\n\nI'll check back :-)\n-------------------\nI'm back! Hey, that's great. If what you saw is indeed an Anguidae, the common name is "glass lizard" (glass, because they seem fragile, as they autotomize their tails really easily).\nThe most common species in Florida seem to belong to genus Ophisaurus. I suggest you do an image search using the genus name, you'll probably find the right species.\nOh, glass lizards are not dangerous, but they can bite!\nSee description of common Florida lizards here:\nhttp://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/UW061\nThis species is common:\nhttp://www.wildherps.com/species/O.ventralis.html

Yeah, that guy is right. A snail can't jump. So not ALL animals can jump higher than a house!

Why not!!  He would probably enjoy it and love the fact that you are jumping him instead of him having to jump you!!  Get what you want!!

I think that if there were dinosaurs around, we'd know. They're pretty big, someone should have spotted one. But, rest assured, if I saw a real dinosaur, I'd wee my pants, being scared of a twenty foot tall lizard isn't anything to be ashamed of.

no, its not a pain response.  spiders are different from us in that they don't move by contracting long muscles as we do.  we move around by the contraction and relaxation of long muscle groups in our bodies.  a spider on the other hand, uses its blood as a hydraulic fluid.  it moves by pumping the blood in and out of the legs, extending and contracting them in the process.  so, when you 'squish' a spider you remove all the blood---and the legs contract as a result of not having any blood pumped into them to extend them.\n\nPS===don't squish spiders.  they are beneficial to us.

Surface tension, or the attraction of water molecules sideways and inwards at the surface of the water, cause water to act like an elastic trampoline. This lets the animal float without breaking the surface.\n\nTo propel itself forward, the insect's feet must push water backward (for every action of the bug there is an equal and opposite reaction on the water). The rowing action of the legs produces miniature vortices (whirlpools) which move backward from the bug's feet.
