Did a lizard/anole escape by shedding its skin? Or did a fragment of wind-borne snake skin land on this capensis? Or...?

Me thinks wind born. I don’t think it would need to shed in order to escape.

Lizards shed in pieces, not in whole body sheds.

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.

Could be a cocoon of a moth species ?

Looks like a small snake shed, I think I can make out ventral scales and eyecaps in the second picture. Where do you live? If in the US, I would guess something along the lines of a Dekay's Brown Snake or a Smooth/Rough Earthsnake.

It could've been where an alien shedded it's skin. I talked to this guy in a waiting room at the hospital one night and he seemed to know what he was talking about...he was a general in the CIA but didn't like folks to know it.

Small world, I think I met him in a bar years ago when I still visited them.

I'm in the central part of Florida. We do have a lot of snakes here. Lately I have seen some Brahminy blind snakes ( I guess they come out this time of year), which would kind of fit your description above.
