lizards can hang upside down too up on the ceiling. Cross-dressing lizard moves got NOTHING on strippers.

There's a potential for problems here, especially if one of the older lizzards, that's out looking for a mate, sees one of those younger male ones, that's disguised as a female, and selects him as a mate... |
