Look who was hiding out in our bathroom!! My mom was visiting from PA this past week, and on Tuesday she was in the bathroom and said "Erica, I don't know if this is a toy or real- Oh, it just moved, it's real!" So when she was done I went in and there it was:
Poor thing was scared to death I'm sure. Just the night before when I was at school, mom and BF found a huge cricket near the bathroom so we already had a designated 'critter catcher' cup, which I used to get the lizard thing back out into the garden. And in the afternoon we saw a bigger lizard thing climbing along an outside wall. Cool! (I apologise, I don't know reptiles very well, so if they're not furry and have 4 legs and fingers and tails, well they're all lizards to me until I learn their proper names.)
Mom wasn't sure at first if it was real or not because I have a habit of putting odd things in odd places, so if I had a rubber lizard, there's a good chance I'd just put it someplace like that, like I'm 10 years old or something.
Yeah, I should grow up one of these days...
OK, we used to live on the 10th floor in downtown Long Beach, and 2.5 weeks ago we moved a whole 5 miles inland to 'the suburbs' of Long Beach, but jeez, I feel like we're in the Boonies with all this great wildlife all around! (including suspected coyotes, which is just another reason not to let Genever outside)
Oh, and when I texted a friend about having a lizard in the house, she asked if Genever saw it. I replied "I don't think so, because if she did, then we wouldn't have." Eek!
