Yes. Not that this is related to what happened to you but my cats love to chase the lizards and when they put their paws on the tail it separates from the lizard. The tail stays alive for a minute or two. It is funny to see this brownish tail still moving after it is separated from the lizard.

snake, a lizzy kinda peels a snake can leave a whole skin the size he is
Reply:Did the skin have a long tubular shape or leg shape to it? If it was a single piece that was kind of short, the only thing I could think of is the a snake has a horizontal stripe along the belly and that pattern would look similar to armor. Where as a lizard would have a less shiny more patterned with a rough skin without that armored look to it!


Does that make sense?! Be careful when trying to removal him if it is a snake. Your best bet is a professional as some snakes are poisonous. Just leave him be, as snakes are harmless and would prefer to run then bite. I would say though if you have the dryer on, the noise may frighten him so where shoes just in case.


If I was a snake or lizard in a cold basement, that's where I would be too! lol!
