Reptilian Love


Reptilian Love

They aren't my pets. They moved in of their own accord - they escaped from a local pet shop which is now defunct. Lucky lizards! They earn their keep by eating a bunch of bugs everyday especially ants. Above, the female is slightly larger. They dug out a little den under my patio, where they go to hibernate during winter. They survived a few extremely brutal winters. They don't need anything from me except to live in my garden. They are completely independent and look after themselves. Now I have baby lizards running around the garden. They are really cute.

Thanks, well, they camouflage so perfectly against the grass and ground, you hardly notice them. They climb through my boxwoods catching spiders, ants & and whatever else is there. Costello doesn't bother them. However, a couple got into the house and Costello caught them and brought them to me.

Yes, sometimes I'll come outside to find a few sunbathing on my patio. That's really funny.

They are so cute Paul plus you don't have food or vets bills to pay , do they have names ?

I don't have names for them there are a couple dozen out there by now. I agree, they are really cool to watch. They much rather be free to catch their own food. That's fine with me, lol

Wonderful to watch them - I think 'wildlife pets' are the best because they are so independent :)

That's true Sheila and they really help out in the garden. The other day a robin fertilized my tomatoes for me.
