We encounter these little fellows almost every day in the garden, and sometimes they accidentally wander indoors, which results in Zoë persuading them to take a trip in a glass so they can be transported to their home outside.
The first little lizards are those that we find in the front garden, and it is these that occasionally make their way indoors. These fellows look somewhat like little mini crocs – very scaly. Several of them have now had a trip in an alien glass spaceship…perhaps the first one enjoyed it so much he went back to tell his friends?
The second one is not very scaly at all … a bit of a problem given that the definition of a lizard is "a four-legged reptile with a long body and tail, movable eyelids, and a rough, scaly, or spiny skin" (according to the Oxford English Dictionary). He looks bald and smooth and the wrinkles around his neck make him look like an “old guy”, though he probably isn't. He scurries away from us when we water the back garden.
This third type we encountered on our hike up Barva. He stopped in the middle of the road when he saw us walking in his direction … and posed beautifully for photos. Perhaps he was showing off his beautiful T stripes.
