Very interesting! Reptiles are all genius little creatures. But of course, we all knew that. Heck, they train US.

"Mommy! Look! I'm glass-dancing!"
"Ok, I'll take you out............"

I just wish the study hadn't been done by Duke University

Sorry - I'm in NC - and you're either with Carolina or Duke. In my case, I go with the former

Hehe, so it's "Puke" University for you :laughhard: LoL They do trains us, and they are very good at it.
I have added a PDF document on the subject in my first post, it has all the info about it.

There was a program I was in in school called Science Research. It was pretty demanding and I dropped it =P , but I was going to do a study on reptiles abilities to hear and stuff. But the course was a lot of nonsense sometimes. I do have to give it credit though, it helped me as an individual. I just find it neat there are real studies about reptiles, it almost makes me wish I didn't drop that class... almost :wink:

Hehe, that would be an awesome study, too bad you dropped it =P
I loved what they did here, there's almost no research into reptiles. I'm glad that someone is doing something about it.

Yeah, that was one reason I didn't do it. For the class you needed to read professional papers written on the topic, and there were very very few that had to do with lizards. It was a college class but eh, life goes on and no more 5 inch binder (It's a very big binder :shock: ) I hope people keep researching them though, I'm sure there's a lot we can learn from them

I think we would be surprised how little we know about them if we would really start to do some research on this.
