Pssst....
Down here....
You've got mail!
On our last day visiting my out-laws I stopped to get their mail. I was surprised by an anole, a small lizard indigenous to the southeast, hiding in the mail for the family! Anoles are often mistakenly called chameleons because they change from brown to a brilliant green. Several years ago we had an anole stowaway that rode with us from SC to CO on a plant. We put him up in a terrarium through the winter and fed him crickets. He was an ingrate, showing no thanks when we returned him and released him in his home.
Aaaahhhhhhh, I nearly jumped just seeing him peaking out of the mail!!!
ReplyDeleteAs a child in Chicago, I bought one at the circus. I fed him mealworms. He was mean and would bite me. Then we moved to Texas, and I was surprised that they were everywhere outside! They live there! Great post!
ReplyDeleteHow funny!
ReplyDeleteCute! When we go to Florida I love seeing the lizards and lizard like creatures because we don't have them up here.
ReplyDeleteHow neat!! I bet it was a surprise :)
ReplyDeleteI would have been surprised. Too cold for cold bloods here.
ReplyDeleteTee hee. Cute. Much better than finding a snake curled up in there. But it would still make me jump.
