What the heck is Teiid?

If you wondering what the heck is Teiid, and what kind of crazy name is this, well Teiid is data lizard, actually it is a "Whip Tail Lizard" and very interesting one too.

It is pronounced as "tee-id". Here is definition of it by http://www.thefreedictionary.com

The Common Data Lizard (Cnemidophorus datumus) is the only species of whiptail lizard native to all continents. It was once considered a subspecies of the Common DeeBase Whiptail, Cnemidophorus Jdbcus, but was eventually granted full species status due to it's uncanny reliability and availability. It is one of only lizard species known to be embeddogenic.

Description

The Common Data Lizard grows to between 8 and 12 inches in length. It is typically blue-gray in color, with 5-6 white or orange dots decorating the hind section of the of the body. They are thin bodied, with a long tail.

Behavior

Like most whiptail lizards, the Common Data Lizard is active, yet stable. They are acute, energetic, and fast moving, and fear nothing when approached. Its preferred habitat is clean, arid areas with ample storage space.
