Reptile Wars

weatherboi · 09-12-2012, 09:04 AM

If you have any love for snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, alligators, dinosaurs, or any other reptile I might have missed, then this is the place to post a picture and show some love.

I love how the female croc comes back and digs up her babies to help them get out of their shells.

Western Banded Gecko

We have gecko's everywhere, and they can be seen in the strangest places, and you wonder how they can do that..well.

""With all the leaping around they do geckos need to be sure-footed to survive, so it helps that their feet are stickier than our strongest super glue. Every square millimeter of their footpads contains about 14,000 superfine hair-like structures, and each one of them is tipped with between 100 and 1000 even finer bristles (see second photo). The gecko is able to tap into powerful electrostatic forces that surge in the narrow gaps between the hairs. It’s these van der Waals forces that lend the gecko’s feet their near-supernatural tackiness. So forget nails, the mathematics of these forces indicates that — and we stress that this is purely speculation — a full-sized gecko on your ceiling could support the weight of a 290-pound chandelier

I wondered once, how they got in the house as I watched them climbing the glass patio door and hanging in the sunshine for a nap.

Gecko Toes too...
