We don't have a lot of lizards, so they're sortof a shock when we see them :~o
They look like this, this was a different one that I nearly ran over in the pasture mowing awhile back.
I don't recognize the type - he looks almost like a newt, like he'd be at home in water doesn't he?
When I lived in the Philippines, we had little lizards similar to this one that lived in the house. They crawled up and down the walls and ate lots of bugs.
I have a few around the house here in Texas too. They are welcome here but the critters (2 cats and 1 Dog) sometimes get them. Usually, they stay up high on the walls and stay safe. But, if they get down on the floor, they are goners.
Between the lizards and the pets, I only have the occasional spider or other insect in the house.
