Me and my friend, we live in Dover, New Hampshire. we were walking around in a small foresty area near our school when we came across a strange reptillian creature. Unfortunatly we didn't have a camera on us.

The creature was gray and had black bands running along it's body, it also looked like a snake, but it had legs like a Komodo Dragon. It's tail drooped down and slithered along the ground as it moved and it flicked it's tounge like a snake also. It's eyes were like that of a chameleon, sorta popping off it's head, their coloring was yellow. The creature had sharp teeth and about 2 cm claws, small. The creature was about 5 to 10 inches in length.
It had that skin thing on its head like a Cobra. It had Pale Black (Darker then the skin) bat-like wings, connecting the front and back legs on both sides of the body. we didn't see if the creature could fly or not, because we left, but I suppose it could glide.

We named this reptile: Con gambe-serpente or "Legged-Snake". We wonder if it is discovered because we found no information. If anyone knows what it is, some info would be appreciated. And also, those up to it for a better description, could attempt a sketch (I suck at drawing )

I have no idea what it was.

the Cobrada Dragon? lol I'm not quite sure what you saw.. strange..

Did it have a pair of front legs, but no hind legs?

It had front and hind legs. As I said, the wings were connected to both pairs of legs.

No proof can't believe you sorry...

I also don't think a animal would have legs sticking out of its shoulders and hips...

You know; I live in Union New Hampshire; just a short way from Dover. Given the temperature here right now I doubt any reptilian is moving around at all. What time of year did you see this? I find it highly unlikely though; to tell the truth. If a reptile had wings it wouldn't look like a Komodo Dragon or other Monitor species it wouldf be far too ungainly to ever fly.

Well I couldn't help not drawing a picture of it.. So I present to you. My own thoughts of what it may have looked like...

So your telling me that a reptile (only been found with 0-4 limbs not counting deformaties) with 8 limbs was walking around in the forest during the middle of winter?

The 'unknown' reptile!!:

EDIT: Osrry I just realized that you said it had a hood like a cobra too, so its not in the drawing.

SOunds like the borneo flying dragon. It doesn't have 6 limbs, it has a rib cage that expands to glide, the flap of skin connects from front leg to the back leg so that could be what he was talking about. It is a very small reptile though and not indigenous to England.

It also lives in a tropical humid enviroment, not in a forest during winter.

Im trying to be non Skeptical dammit . I can't really say out that it is propablly a figment of his imagination.

Ehhh. Just trying to prove a point

I think its because him and his 'friend' wanted some attention, I am pretty happy with that drawing though, maybe even editi it in the future

Sorry for the confusion about the legs, it had 4, not 8.

It could have been a figment, but I'm pretty sure I saw the thing walk. And I'll check the drawing in a second.

Maybe what they saw was a Borneo Flying Lizard even though it is not native to England, it could easily be a reacently escaped pet or have come from a zoo. Even more likely because Im sure if it had been a missing pet or escaped zoo specimen rewards would have been advertised for its safe return it might have been an escaped victim of a reptile smuggling ring?? Yeah?

A frilled lizard that was shedding or peeling???............it would explain the hood like a cobra...

It can be a new breed of species, it can also be a lesser dragon of legend. Are you talking about the flying dragon type of gliding wings, or is it bat-like? How many pairs of wings did it have?

Lizards with bat wings are connected with the supernatural.

Yeah, as soon as I saw the part about "wings", a flying lizard came to mind -- some kind of glider...anyway, I agree with whoever posted further down, that someone had a pet that got away, or that they let go.
Quite a few times exotic animals have turned up in strange places -- at least one alligator has been found where I grew up (Buffalo, NY), and a baby alligator was found in a small pond in N. Collins, about 35 mi. away. Also, the week before our alligaor was caught, a caiman was found in Central Park. People just get sick of their animals for whatever reason -- too big, too hard to feed, etc. -- and let them loose in a pond/river, thinking that eventually, they'll find the ocean, or die, or whatever their mind is thinking at the time.

Sorry, I went off on a tangent there....

http://www.centralpets.com/pages/critterpa...s/LZD2644.shtml has a full description of flying lizards. It does say that they are normally green, but maybe because of the cold, the color faded/changed somehow? *shrug*

Anyway, your lizard was probably on its way out, as there is no way it could survive in the winter of New Hampshire for long.

not tried very hard but made a sketch

wow...man great drawings you guys...
could you give us more info please...sounds intresting but i feel we need more decsriptions...

i find this very very hard to swallow.

a pet they just let go? ough that is cruel/mean.

I have absolutly no idea if it is real it just doesnt seem...i dunno..just weird
