So my grand - Aunt was watching a lizard one day. What was facinating her enough to continue watching it was the fact that it appeared to be weating socks. On all its legs, as well as it's tail. It seemed to be stuck to that place, so she picked it up, put it in an old matchbox, and took it over to a zoologist she happened to know.
I was thinking along the lines of it getting caught in a spider web. This won't come as a surprise, but it was apparently shedding. I KNEW lizards do that... but never struck me.
Imagine having to get out of tight clothes - that was how much the lizard had to struggle. Now imagine clothes as tight as your skin.
