Sidelights: Teenagers use lizard to scare schoolgirls
Arab News

AL-JOUF: Four teenagers were arrested for sticking a Uromastyx or Dabb (a kind of large desert lizard) out of their car window in order to frighten schoolgirls, Al-Watan daily reported yesterday. Col. Daman ibn Wanis Al-Darain, the spokesman for the Al-Jouf police, said police received several complaints of a car full of teenagers using the lizard, which can grow up to 1 meter in length, to frighten schoolgirls. The teenagers would pull up to a group of girls and then stick the lizard out of their car, sending the young girls screaming for help. The teenagers� prank was short-lived as police quickly arrived at the scene and arrested them.

It might LICK me! Well, that's what giant mali Taz would do anyway.

This is so funny! How can anyone be afraid of a uro???? They just look adorably pudgy and huggable to me.

It was probably hissing. FRESHLY wild caught(as much as you can get), car full of teenagers, hanging out the window-definately not happy. Probably a BIG (pissed off) microlepis.
