"big lizard in my backyard" Great album [emoji23] but we live it down here! Right now with the cold snap they are shutting down and dropping out of the trees as they go into sort of hibernation stage. came across this one on our morning walk. This little guy is still very much alive, I got him to move a little for me, hopefully when it warms up in the next couple of hours he will recover and didn't get hurt too bad on his way down out of the tree!!
size 12 on the shoe size for comparison
He's the biggest one I have seen here in our neighborhood, I have a curly tail living around the house thats about 3/4 his size and a family of Mediterranean Geckos that live in the garage that are about 1/2 size to him (they eat all the bugs) and of course all the little typical Chameleons. Down on Boca Grande Island which is just a couple miles down the road from us (where all the rich people live/Tarpon fishing hotspot) the big Iguanas are all over. I have had to stop in the middle of the road to let 3 footers meander across [emoji23]
