Tom, they were literally taking over the yard. Haven't done that in a long time. I didn't say i did it all the time. I didn't get many of them

Reminds me of taking a basketball on anthills at my moms house as a kid. Doing a bombing run...

Monitor lizards are a whole different story. LOL

And unfortunately, due to plenty of idjits, they are being released into the Everglades in FL, and doing some serious damage to native populations there. They will raid gator nests and eat the eggs. Not to mention all the pythons and boas that are being released down there, as well. They get sold as pets, and when the people get tired of them, or they get too big, they get released, because the zoos won't take them. They buy them when they're small, and think "Awesome!" but don't think about how they're going to handle them once they get past 8ft long and such.

6 inches is long for a Green Anole, and a foot long is definitely outside the range. So I am thinking gecko,
or iguana. You don't get a lot of lizard action of that length in Alabammie. As they say this thread is useless
without pics.

As for the northerners who were saying they had no lizards, my cousin from Flint MI used to come down
for family reunions about every five years, and would absolutely freak out over the Anoles. He would
always take a half dozen or so back to MI in a milk carton, I recall.

I have no lizard problem. Grace, on the other hand, has a lizard problem. I think she was hoping to find a bigger one.

We used to flood the ant nests and then use a propane torch on them as they ran out.:-)

I can't beleive it took 25 posts before this comment appeared, I was fighting to not make the joke as soon as I saw the title! :-)


Oh and on topic, I like lizards around. We have been thinking about getting a bearded dragon for my son.

Problem? Nah. Does seem like the population is on the comeback after the freeze from two winters ago, though. Almost killed all the little bastiges off. Fortunately, the iguanas haven't made it this far...yet.

You must atone by breeding them, and running a Lizard Farm, Justin. :-)

I literally laughed out loud, Vin. :-)

That's right, laugh at the guy with the small penis. My mother smoked throughout her pregnancy. I blame it on that.

My Mom smoked, drank, and asked the doctor to give me "extra" circumcision. :-)
