I miss reptiles. The UK doesn't really do reptiles.
We've got a Blue Tongued lizard in our garden. A real gentleman. I call him Lester. He's very dignified and keeps a low profile, though it's kind of hard for him to do otherwise. He's totally relaxed around us, and attends to his business. He knows it is safe here for him.
What species is this one in the pic?
That's a good sized lizard. I've got a lot of little blue tail lizards that live around here.
Iguana? mmmm tasty...
@Delaroux I lived in Panama...iguana on a stick was a common snack...
@Delaroux I couldn't eat the guinea pigs in Peru...so I totally understand...
@thinktwice on a steeek?
@Gooniesnvrdie What is wrong with you? We are educated travelers who respect the cultures and foods of people other than ourselves. You sound like the closed minded judgmental people who makes assumptions about others with no knowledge or background of who they are or the circumstances under which they live...now that is redneck indeed. Don't be that...we certainly aren't.
@Bigwavedave Hey, Dave...sort of like shish kabob...lamb on a stick..or gator on a stick...I don't eat it, but it is the food of the people living there.
@Gooniesnvrdie "Ew. The fuck is wrong with you? You sound like the rednecks here in Ohio who can't look at anything in nature without thinking about killing it"
seriously? ok..whatever...
@Delaroux when my daughter lived in Thailand, the maids where she lived would kill and take home the lizards for food. In the Philippine mountains I ate monkey.
@Delaroux "needs garlic"
@Beowulfsfriend Yes, monkey was also eaten in many of the countries I lived in or visited...it is one thing I will not repeat
Looks healthy. Less chance for pests. And so cute, unless you have small pets or small children who may not understand.
