Lizard and tubes.

[Gold Metal Flake]

Found this little critter resting on an old Univox tube guitar amp on my workbench. This is one of three common lizard types around the house. This type, whatever it is, has a very long tail. The tail is twice as long as the body. One other one of this type that lives around the garage is a foot long overall. The amp needs an output transformer. The lizard needs crickets.

1. I have 3 of the lttile guys in my former attic now loft.

I see one every night, almost stepped on one the other night.

Glad I didn't.

2. I love lizards.

We never get lizards in Minnesota, though.

3. I have a little lizard that hangs out on my deck every morning, soaking the sun.

He won't let me take his picture though. I tried. He runs off. :(

4. OMG don't get me started on lizards

my cat Riff Raff is obsessed with lizards and brings them to me....how he is able to carry them around in his mouth, sometimes by the HEAD, and NOT INJURE them at all, just floors me :o

5. Riff Raff is just giving you little gifts.

I do like the little lizards.

6. OMG TW

last week his hairy face pops up in my french door window - he's got a solid black lizard, probably 7, 8 inches from head to tail - by the head, and the lizard's hands were clutching Riff Raff by the whiskers. I jumped up and grabbed a "critter boot" I keep by the door, - opened the door and slammed the boot down on the patio screaming LET HIM GO!!! Riff Raff drops the lizard and it runs STRAIGHT INTO MY APARTMENT. Twenty minutes later of chasing the lizard around the room, pulling out pieces of furniture to track him - I grabbed the lizard, opened my front door while shouting to the lizard YOU ARE ONE STUPID FUCKING LIZARD just as my handsome neighbor, who already thinks I'm a loon, is opening his door. LAST time it was a green lizard and I was screaming at Riff Raff DO NOT BRING YOUR LITTLE FUCKING GREEN FRIENDS IN HERE!!! OMG my pathetic life. :o

8. Now that is one great story.

Is that the same black cat that liked the black cat on the calendar?

Your kitty is a mighty hunter.

[Skittles]

13. yes, Riff Raff ogling Miss November

[texanwitch]

12. IT'S NOT FUNNY I TELL YOU KALI

that neighbor guy is cute but I rarely see him because we work completely opposite shifts - and because of Riff Raff he thinks I'm loony. Heck the FIRST time I saw him, when he was moving in - Riff Raff had brought me a BABY BLUE JAY - because of the lateness of the hour I had to keep the bird overnight, then set him out near a tree the next morning. The baby's noisy parents came and got him to finally get airborne, but then they ATTACKED ME every time they saw me, for WEEKS. The first time I saw my cute neighbor was after a BLUE JAY FLY-BY two inches in front of my face which caused me to scream I DID NOT KIDNAP YOUR FUCKING KID!!! Yup, that was the cute guy's first awareness of me, then the lizard incidents and, oh, he thinks I am nuts. :mad:

18. Riff Raff? Like the

character in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" Riff Raff?

Cool name. Tres bien.

On edit - sorry about your neighbor. Give it time. He'll come around ....

7. Me and my big baby...

I miss her so.

[Kali]

10. beautiful!

have always wanted one

[EnviroBat]

17. She was such a good and well behaved girl.

She had her "moments", but most of the time she come out of her cage and lumber across the floor. You could always hear her tail dragging behind her. You'd just be sitting there on the couch and suddenly, 4-feet of Iguana is jumping up in your lap to watch TV with you. She was like a prickly cat most of the time...
