I've actually had to catch and release some of those lizards when the cat brought them into the house. They're skittish but as long as you don't hand them a finger to munch, I can't see them as anything but adorable. :)<BR/><BR/>Houston,<BR/><BR/>Lizard Gulch would be really cute if we lived in the west, yep. I think I thought of lizards as desert critters till we moved to the Deep South.

I missed the lizards when I was in Oklahoma. I'm pretty sure they have some of those little anole lizards running around, back home, but certainly not to the extreme that we see them, here.<BR/><BR/>Indigo,<BR/><BR/>Yep, they do love the insects. We've been extremely heavy on mosquitoes, this year, so maybe that's one of the reasons the lizards are thriving. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the offer, but I just checked and I'm #2 in line for Special Topics in Calamity Physics at Paperback Swap.

I think they're off making little baby lizards -- at least, that's what I hope. Unfortunately, Rotten Ranch really does fit. We have a lot of cleaning and maintenance to catch up on. <BR/><BR/>Andi,<BR/><BR/>That's cute. So, skinks are common in Virginia? I've only seen one skink. He ran across the path in front of us at a nature refuge in the Delta (farther north; we're actually part of the MS Delta, but the southernmost bit).

Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>Trish,<BR/><BR/>Our little anole lizards are chameleons, so they do sometimes turn brown. But, most of the time they're that wonderful, vivid apple green -- which just happens to be one of my favorite colors. It is really that green, here, yes. Green upon green upon green. I love the colors of Mississippi; it's the heat, humidity and mosquitoes I could do without. But they kind of go with the territory. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-14138467059240091742008-05-17T20:32:00.000-05:002008-05-17T20:32:00.000-05:00Too funny!
