I ♥️ Lizzies!!!

Is it a little (or big, I suppose, depending on where you live) native guy... or looks more like someone’s escaped pet?

I don’t feed the natives... I want them to HUNT all the creepy crawlie poisonous flying nasties in my house :D Woohoo! Come to me, my geckos! Come one and all! Most house lizards are insectivores, I particularly love the ones that hunt mozzies & spiders, but some are flesh eating (Think mice, rats, and rabbits), or herbivores. Some, too, are omnivores. I had the HEALTHIEST roses with an iguana in the garden. Got super grumpy the first time she ate them, but after that they grew back so lovely, that I just left all the rose-care, sans watering, to the lizzie.

Escaped pets, on the other hand usually have special needs (light/humidity/heat/foods) and will die if not caught and properly taken care of.
 
Thanks @Survivor3.. how are you? My mom is recovering, her prognosis is a good one, so I’m okay.. it’s like life always is for many of us, a Good Day/Bad Day one.. Thank you and I hope you come back to stable health again soon :-)
Glad for you and your mum. I feel upset and frustrated too be honest. Haven't drunk alcohol for 13 days. Trying too smoke alot less. Listening to the radio at the moment. Sunday blues station. Just trying to get through one day at a time.
 
I haven't seen Bob the lizard since yesterday. I've decided to just give him romaine lettuce and water. Insects are in good enough supply, I think, so I won't have to supply them.
 
My mum came round and I feel so shit I could barely speak to her. I feel really traumatised at the moment.
You've been through a lot in the last couple of weeks @Survivor3 , and you're making massive changes (not drinking etc), and dealing with all the past trauma. It sounds a great great great deal to be managing at the moment. So not at all surprising communicating with others, even if it your mum, is tough right now. Maybe give yourself permission to just let that be ok?
Hope it passes soon and you feel able to communicate with who you want when you want.
