It was bow season and I had my bow and permit, but that was just too much meat even considering the convenience of the van right there. I waited a couple minutes and went back outside and he had gone so I went to work.
Well, I'll have you know that here in Phoenix, I have a Gecko inside my house! I've seen him in the kitchen and the bathroom but I can't catch him - it just occurred to me that there could be two of them! I know they eat crickets, but still.
This is my dragon (probably 8 inches long):
