Cause of Death

There was a dead baby monitor lizard (or gecko?) on our porch. It was turned upside down. And was missing its head and a few limbs (no pictures; too gruesome). We speculated as to the cause of death. Insects? Snakes? Other lizards? Our cat?

I theorized that it accidentally fell down and severed its head and limbs. I don't think it is highly probable, but it is possible. 

Either way the lizard is dead.

  1. There was a dead rat (or mouse?) in our carpark. It was lying on it's side. And was missing it's feet and tail and entire body (no pictures; didn't take a camera down). I speculated as to the cause of death. Insects? Snakes? Other rats? Our car?

    I theorized that it was decapitated by some random person and left it there for me to step on. I don't think it's highly probable, but it is possible.

    Either way, the rat is dead. And I stepped on it.
