I love this guy. He hangs out on my kitchen window when I have the lights on. He's fat because he's catching all the bugs that are attracted by the light. Watched him miss a few because he's so fat.

In my experience the *ahem* plus size lizards are usually female laugh

I'll defer to your experience.  Plus my experience says female whatevers are smarter so I'm not going to doubt you.

Tropical House Gecko.  I have one the hangs out on my bathroom window when the lights are on for a while. Easy hunting when the bugs come to you.

They get in the house and become the ultimate cat toy, even better than a laser pointer. Look out when two Maine Coons have radar lock on one, E36 M3 gets knocked over.

I had one on a window recently too, only during daylight hours.

I love lizards, but we don't get many up here in NY. There are small (and protected) semi-local populations of Eastern Fence Lizards and Five-Lined Skinks, but they're hidden away in the hills. Plenty of frogs and toads, though, both of which will occasionally hang out by a window or sliding door at night and gorge themselves.

Yeah, the only fat lizards we get up here are porn stars from The Villages.

Surprised but disappointed.  I was expecting something about beer with a name of "Fat Lizard".

I welcome any and all pest control that wants to live at my place. We've got tons of earth snakes and skinks (because we don't berkeley with having a perfect lawn) and I'm going to build some bat houses this year, too.

Now I'm wondering what sort of canoe bumped this post, but I may prefer not knowing.

Here's a green* anole that was on my shed a week ago.

* They can change color depending on their mood.

We have a few large tropical house geckos that hang out above our front door to eat the bugs attracted by our porch light. It's all fun and games until you open the storm door and one falls on your head

So what can we infer about this particular lizard's mood?

Probably worried that there's a large creature waving a phone at it.

I got the glorious purpose of cleaning up.....what was left of a lizard that was ingested by my smallest predator and regurgitated on my dining room floor earlier today. 

 

This is not the first time she's done that/ You'd think she'd learn that lizards go down bad. I puke when I drink rumple minze. Guess what? I don't drink rumple minze! It's not that hard!

Those pink geckos are cool.  One evening when termites were swarming around a light I watched one of these eat every termite that landed within reach.  He probable ate 20 of them in 5 minutes. He seemed to be bottomless in capacity.

I saved 80% on car insurance by leaving the lizard.
