@tcekilla2 That's not true. You're thinking of Cnemidophorus whiptails, and even then, there are still male and female populations of this species. only 30 percent of this species is parthenogenetic. Also, they aren't "the only thing on earth that are of the same sex". There are thousands of hermaphroditic animals with both male and female sex organs. Snails and worms are an example.

@mmmmmarcus You mean 'she'? All of the whiptail lizards are female and mate in a very different way, its the only thing on earth that are of the same sex.

thx for the whole wait for its prey thing because mine constantly sprints around its cage but when i put a cricket in he just ignores it, even when it crawls on him lol.

We have these around the area where we live Ventura / LA county coastal range.  They have a lot of personality, stole my heart.

Do you offer a creative commons license or will you otherwise grant permission for me to use, with proper credit, portions of your video for a mashup I am creating for school?

He seemed to realize you were helping him. These lizards are very intelligent.
