Found her recently on the road with a sevearly broosed head with a small amount of blood on the lips. I dont have a clue what could have hapened :roll: A car would have killed it you would think.

Actually, it very well could be mike tyson! I don't see any ears at all. :p

I am not sure what it could be though. Maybe a leaf nosed snake or something of the sort? :oops:

I bet it just got clipped by the edge of a car tire.... a bummer for the little guy.
Coleonyx - I think there is a misconseption that leafnose snakes feed on geckos that was started in a book from the '50s I believe, that has been carried out in more recent publications (mostly field guids). Phyllorhynchus eat almost exclusivly reptile eggs. I have PDF's to back that up if anyone is interested, I'll share...
take it easy,

MaYBE a road runner grabbed it by the head and then dropped it. Or
it could have gotten caught in a tight spot and struggled to get out causing
a bruise and the jaw misalignment.

I cant understand how she could get hit by a car and not be squished like
a pancake. How do you know for sure? i mean seriously.

Its called air pressure. When are car goes over something it creates a lot of air undernithe the car. In Field herping we call it being rolled. The animal was prabably stradaled by a car but was flipped around because of how fast the car was moving.
