My "invigorating" morning....

I think I'm in Florida, but I'm not sure any more.
…..started at about 7:30 a.m. I was wandering around the house in my nightgown when something started "tickling" the middle of my back.

I couldn't reach the "tickle" so I went into the bathroom, pulled off my gown and turned to look in the mirror, thinking I may be breaking out in a rash.

What to my wondering eyes should I see but a tiny green lizard, about 2 inches long including tail. Right in the middle of my back where I couldn't reach it. I yelled for the Spousal Equivalent, who said, "I'm not touching that thing!" (big grown up boy, scared to death of lizards, frogs and snakes). Finally Mr. Lizard jumped off me onto the wall and I chased him around the bathroom til I caught him and repatriated him with his natural habitat.

I'm still giggling.

Heh, when living at the cabin, we'd get a few visitors.
Felt something wiggling 'tween me and the covers one morning
Looked down
There he was, at the edge of the sheet, face to face
His little front legs raised up, and his many eyes seemed to widen, like, 'OMG! He's wake!!'

Then he skittered off

Cute little rascals
 
Similar experience when I was showering one morning. I felt something on my back and also could not reach so I turned around and hit the area with the shower water and.....kerplunk! A very large cock roach fell to the tub bottom. If you have never seen the roaches we have in Texas they can be the size of your thumb.

Here we have one that is very large, maybe 3 inches, called the Palo Verde beetle. They burrow under the trees. It looks like a a cockroach.

Don't Texans brag that everything is bigger in Texas?
 
In Bali, they call the little lizards chee-chaks. When we visited there, we picked that up and call them that here. We get lots of them on our porch roof at night, hunting for bugs attracted by the light. We also have anoles, little green lizards that can puff out their neck in a little display of red. So cute!
 
We also live in Florida and those lizards are all over the place in our yard and around our pool, our German Shepherd loves to chase them, it’s so funny to watch her! The lizards are very helpful around our house as they eat ants and other bugs.
 
I moved into a new apartment building on Okinawa back in 1971. Cockroaches quickly set up household in the entire building. The best solution I could come up with was to go into an older neighborhood and hire a couple of youngsters to catch some geckos for me. After turning them loose in my apartment, they quickly solved the cockroach problem before moving into adjacent units.

After spending 4 years in Hawaii, I was used to geckos and had learned to appreciate their role.
 
As an Ex-Spousal Equivalent, if there are 4/6 legged vermin in the home, under the terms of the S. E. Contract of 2017; it is the other partner's responsibility to remove it. And also under the terms of the contract, it is not permitted to call such vermin as "cute".
What kind of jungle do you people live in?:)
 
This Komodo Dragon's saliva alone, can kill it's prey it is so full of bacteria.
