So this was someone on reddit, who lives in new Mexico ?...In Spain this can easily happen, we have gecko's and lizards often climbing up the walls outside the house... or clambering over our patios and terraces..

Got lots of lizards here; the dog keeps trying to catch 'em. One day she did; Huzz looked over at her and here's the poor lizard's tail hanging out of the dog's mouth.

Lots of them here in Florida. Good guys as we hardly have any house flies.

I love lizards! This is a smart one. 
How'd you like for one to be crawling between the sheets in your bed?!?

I had one crawl up on my pillow once ...was reading in bed and heard a scratching noise, looked over and it was just sitting there watching me. Do really love them but that one might have died of a heart attack at the volume of my scream. I love them lots more on my porch.
I wouldn't mind. When I was young, I had a Boa Constrictor. My brother was handling him & he didn't bother latching his enclosure when he put him back. I came home tired & went right to bed. It was a cold night & the air conditioner in the house wasn't working.How'd you like for one to be crawling between the sheets in your bed?!?
When I woke up, he was under the covers wrapped around me - all 12 feet of him.
Reptiles are cold blooded & when they're cold, they'll seek out heat.
OMG, I'd just pass out. I almost did with a tiny snake a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, they love (to eat) bugs and flies. So that makes 'em great in my book.

C'mon, Pam. A little lizard like that is no problem. He just wants to get warm.How'd you like for one to be crawling between the sheets in your bed?!?
A snake in the sleeping bag; now that is a whole different kettle of fish.

OMG, that is so cute.
@Warrigal Do you mind if I collect a 'few' lizards from the Texas valley and send them over to you??
My oldest sister once woke up because there was a snake crawling all over her as she slept. It was a non venomous snake. That's what she gets for opening the window during the night and the snake somehow slithered in thru the screen.I’ll try to keep them outside Pam. Hope I don’t have that scene in my head when I go to bed tonight.

He's a cute little fella but I don't think I'd want him running around loose in my apartment. I thought about getting a lizard once (after my cat died) but I don't have much room in here for a tank. I did an aromatherapy party years ago for a young lady who had a huge lizard...he had to be at least 2-1/2 - 3 ft long. He was in a cage but I felt like I wouldn't have been afraid of him if he was let loose.
Did y'all know that lizards evolved from birds? Look at a lizard's feet & look at a bird's feet; they're exactly the same.
