    My son has the little frogs at his house. I don't have any. They're so cute.

    Sadly, I really think the chameleon population has dwindled because of the new, bigger, varieties. Sometimes those big ones get mean. They like to breed too.

    Thanks Barry!

  2. I nearly stepped on your lizard's California cousin today at the Mission!

    The Mission San Juan Capistrano is full of lizards, hummingbirds and Monarch butterflies. The kids love to watch the lizards -- especially if it is warm and they are doing "push ups" on the rocks.

    Yours is an adventurous one for sure!

    He's adorable! I'm shocked that he stayed on though, lucky little guy

    My brother said Chameloens are not native to Florida and they are abandoned by people who keep them as pets and when they get bigger, bring them to the everglades because they're no longer "cute".

    I'm going to disney world next week for spring break and I cannot wait to see the lizards! I loved them, my brother lives in Palm Beach and one lives in his room, he said he doesn't mind him anymore, he's tried to get him out but it just won't leave. It sounds weird, I know but those little buggers aren't easy to catch, he's tried many times. The lizard doesn't bother him either..it never goes near him when he's home, just around I guess wherever it wants. He hasn't seen it for awhile, so it probably left..

    They come in the house all the time too. Unfortunately, they hide and they usually don't make it. If they could get bugs they would live a little while but we hope we don't have any bugs in the house.
    My front door is sitting where it has alot of afternoon sun exposure. They love basking in the sun. When I open the door, they come in.

    The little baby ones are so cute it's hard to believe. They're sometimes as small as an inch long. They're miniatures of the bigger ones. I always wish I could pick them up and pet them.

    Alyssa: That would explain why I don't see alot of chameleons anymore. For the first 30 years or so, I saw them everywhere. I never saw any of the newer varieties. I have two that live by my back porch and that's all I see. I call them Brownie and Green Guy--even though they may change colors and then I can't tell them apart. I might be calling Brownie, Green Guy, and, calling Green Guy, Brownie. And.....I wonder why some people think I'm crazy.
