Rachael Ray and Russell Brand Handle a Legless Lizard (VIDEO)

No one could blame Rachael Ray for mistaking a legless lizard for a snake when an animal wrangler produced it from a sack on 'Rachael Ray' (Weekdays, Syndicated). Ray was a bit squeamish about the fairly harmless creature, especially considering it was being handled by a much more dangerous creature (at least by reputation) in comedian Russell Brand.

According to the wrangler, if he were to drop the lizard, it would break into five pieces just to try to get away from a potential attacker. "A little bit of me would like to see that," said Brand.

In retrospect, the wrangler probably used the wrong approach to get Ray to touch the lizard. He should have given her 30 minutes or less to cook it.
