Scared the crap out of me.
« on: September 21, 2017, 06:22:35 AM »
The other day, I was cleaning up some old oil jugs to bring them down to recycling when I felt something run up my leg and into my shorts.

Long story short, I FREAKED and protected the jewels just in case!  When I tried to get out whatever ran up, it turned out to be an alligator lizard.

Damn thing was lucky I didn't squash him, but got to go back and tell his horror story to the rest of his lizard pals.

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Herping in your pants, that's pro level right there.  Hope none of your crap got on him.

Haha! I've had lizard run up my legs and back, but always on the outside of my clothes.  I would have freaked too LOL.
In my experience, Alligator lizards don't like to let go once they bite either.  :o

Don't worry, lizards don't eat nuts. Squirrels up your pant leg is a whole other deal.

Not big enough for a belt but maybe just enough for a watch strap.
