Guess what Chase brought home from scout camp? Poison ivy...no! A tick...no! A lizard...YES! A Western Fence Lizard to be exact. Chase calls her Liz. He taught her to fetch the newspaper...it takes her all day! JK ;-)
He caught her one night when they were moving a fire ring. She lost part of her tail in the process but it's supposed to grow back. She laid nine eggs the night he caught her but they shriveled up and are no longer with us....possibly because he transported them home in his pocket!
This is Liz's favorite perch. We rarely ever see her down on the ground. Unless....
...it's feeding time. Crickets...yum, yum.
I guess she felt the need to wash her hands after eating!
**Update to original post: We've had Liz for about a month now and I think she's changing color to match the dark mulch in her habitat. FYI...still no new tail growth.
Liz's fierce face...take that Tyra Banks!!
