"I came in my kitchen to find a lizard using a sponge as a raft in the sink. (I live in New Mexico)"

@Warrigal Do you mind if I collect a 'few' lizards from the Texas valley and send them over to you??

Sorry, but you would need a licence to bring them into OZ. Border security includes plants and animals.
I would need a license to send you one of these little cuties



He is a thorny devil from our desert regions. Eats ants and absorbs water through the skin, mostly dew, and is absolutely harmless.

When we lived in Tombstone, AZ, we had a front door lizard and a back door lizard. They hung around the porch light gorging on bugs. One day the front door lizard had climbed on my black tire to warm up and was accidentally run over.

We were heart broken when we found the front door lizard squashed in the area where we parked the car . S/he was a big girl or boy too.

How'd you like for one to be crawling between the sheets in your bed?!?

I lived in Florida for awhile, and never could get used to seeing lizards. Sometimes there would be one clinging to the door when I opened it, and of course I would scream, then feel like an idiot, lol.

Did it try to sell you insurance?

Once, I was chatting on the landline telephone with my sister and wondered why the base of the phone looked weird. I turned it over and a small lizard was plastered against it, playing dead.

Nile Monitor: (A really BIG lizard)

I found a frog in the bathroom once. I went for a pee in the middle of the night and the seat was wet. In the corner on the floor was a tree frog. He either came up through the sewer or from the vent on the roof of the house. I'm leaning toward the latter because I've seen tree frogs climbing houses and fences.

I still can't go to the reptile house at the zoos even though they are behind thick glass.

Nile Monitor: (A really BIG lizard)

Our goannas are a species of monitor lizard.
They are not aggressive but best left alone because they are carrion eaters.
A bite could become infected.

Once while camping many years ago we shared the campsite with a large goanna.
At one stage I saw him going up a tree with a dead parrot in his mouth.

Later he came close to us when we were eating and I was able to feed him a boiled egg from my hand. As long as they aren't startled they are no threat but if one is running towards you it's best to lie down lest it mistakes you for a tree and tries to climb up. They aren't very smart creatures.

This is a close up of a goanna. He is called a lace monitor. They are actually quite striking in appearance.
