While doing some yard work the other day I scared up a lizard in the dirt. Naturally I was bummed when he scampered under the concrete slab and out of reach but I figured i'd see him again. The next day R and I were finishing up the same yard work when she thought she saw a garter snake. Of course I told her she was mistaken and a while later she points out this lizard. Her fear of creepy crawlys and some animals often cause her to think she saw something much worse than what she actually did. Kind of like this one time in Idaho we were in the mtns and she saw an alligator swimming in the river. Turns out it was a beaver...??? I know, I have no clue how she could have misconstreued an alligator for a beaver either but she did. LOL! So anyways this lizard just sat there and tried the "sit still and the human will go away approach", well it didn't work and he ended up in my hand. The dogs checked him out and he hissed so I let him pose for some pics then I let him go. I know your thinking Croc Hunter right? Well maybe in another life, either way theres something about catching lizards thats just cool!
Enjoy
