The Crazy Lizard Family

Are we starting to be known as that "weird lizard family"??? No? Maybe after this story the answer will be yes.

So a week or so ago, I went downstairs in the morning to find a tail of a lizard on my kitchen floor. It was very small and white, so it did not belong to either of my current lizards.

I assumed the worst, and figured Clover had another victim and was just glad that it was not a giant moth (last spring she would bring these giant moths into our bedrooms every single night, sometimes several times a night, and they would fly around hitting the walls like a bat until we got up and chased them down and killed them. It still haunts our entire family).

Fast forward 5 nights later, Ryan and Aubree hear a lot of cat noise going on downstairs, so both having flashbacks of the giant moths, hurried downstairs to find Clover on the steps "playing" with a lizard that ....was missing it's tail!

Ryan somehow managed to get the lizard away from the terrorist and put it in our lizard habitat.

I did some online reading a discovered it was a native Desert Banded Gecko.

And, his tail will grow back, which it actually is.

He's tiny, and like to hide in the leaves.

So what's next for Clover?

Looks like a bird somewhere is missing it's feathers.
