Gecko lizard EATS his own skin after shedding
Description
Witness this leopard gecko lizard use his mouth to pull off old skin... and then EAT it.
The filmer told Newsflare: "They eat the skin to recover lost nutrients and avoid leaving traces for predators.
"Usually they are very secretive about the process and shed while hiding, but this gecko is a showoff and was proud of taking his 'sock' off!"
