Specific guess as to what the following photo is?
(Note: "A flower" won't suffice if I'm showing a close up photo of a tulip.)

Is it skin off a snake?
Posted by: Rori at May 24, 2003 01:04 AMI was thinking snake too - maybe a baby snake?

Posted by: pw101 at May 24, 2003 04:36 AMI don't think its a snake. I'm gonna say an iguana or komono dragon.
Posted by: Marc at May 24, 2003 08:19 AMum, komodo dragon ...
or it could be a close up of the python the "python boy" sleeps with.
They're flocking to see "Python Boy"

Posted by: MarcL at May 24, 2003 10:24 AMI think it the skin of a lizard.. Probably a komodo dragon, or iquana, or other really big one.
Posted by: Vince at May 24, 2003 10:49 AMWell, it wrinkles like a lizard's skin would near a shoulder or hip, so it's definitely not a snake.
I'm guessing it's a close-up shot of a blogtroll...
Posted by: McGehee at May 24, 2003 11:47 AMLooks to me like any one of a number of throw rugs
in my house after my cats get done "fixing" them
for me....or a lizard. Or my sweetie's ex-BC, way
too close up.
It looks reptilian, (and I know just how much of a reptile lover you are). My guess is lizard skin...iguana! Yuck.
Posted by: Dr. D. at May 24, 2003 01:04 PMAww heck! They took all my choices. I thought it might be a snake, or a throw rug, or a lizzard. If I succeed in posting just once, do I get points?? What the heck IS it?

A gila monster!
Posted by: pril at May 24, 2003 01:29 PMAcidman's leathery skin ... Heh!
Posted by: Paul at May 24, 2003 02:03 PMlooks like a close-up of my friend lo's savannah monitor, dragolin.
Posted by: tanya at May 24, 2003 02:19 PMlizard skin? am not sure what one, komodo dragon?
maybe?
Well, I was going to say it looks like an extreme closeup of either snake skin or some kind of cloth (looks vaguely like a braded throw rug to me). However, the other reptilian answers make me wonder...
Posted by: Jay Solo at May 24, 2003 03:52 PMLooks like everyone beat me to the "Acidman's (fill in the blank)". Looks like my last case of rugburn of the knee.

Posted by: robyn at May 24, 2003 08:26 PMArmadillo's leg-to-body joint?
Posted by: Sailorette at May 24, 2003 08:37 PMA purse?
Posted by: David at May 24, 2003 08:47 PMWell, David, a future purse. Or shoes. Or boots....
It doesn't look like SNAKE skin. But it's definitely herpetic.... My guess is some kind of lizard, but which one?
Ah, I know! A LOUNGE lizard.
Posted by: joni at May 24, 2003 09:49 PMI would say a reptile but that seems too obvious. It also resembles a shoelace very very close
