One question. How did the ants get in the Crisco? If the cover was on?

Oh, I told Alan about this thread and he went on the Internet to learn about lizards.

Well, he comes into where I'm sitting and he goes "I now know a lot about lizards". and I said: "Oh really, do tell!!" and he says;

"Well, there's a lizard called the Blood Lizard whose enemy is the cayote, and when confronted by a cayote, he releases blood from a sack underneath his eyes and the cayote runs away".

I just sat there looking at him (he was all fascinated by his own telling of this).

Then he says to me (and I kid you not). he says:

"Melody, do you want to know what lizard you should never go near", it's the most dangerous lizard in the world". I said 'go ahead" and he goes:

"you should never go near a Komodo Dragon".

I said (in all sincerity).

"Alan, one think you never have to be worried about is me....going anywhere near ....A KOMODO DRAGON"

Then I laughed my head off.

Oh, he continued to tell me that lizards LOVE to eat ants.

Just the conversation I wanted to have.


Yuck. lol

It was the plastic lid, not the original. But still, it shouldn't have gotten ants. They were the tiny red ones (or babies?). My sis & I made cookies (mostly me) & maybe I didn't put it on good. Heck, I was only about 10.

Oh, you know, My neice has a couple 2 3 ft. lizards in cages in the basement at her mom's house. (She's an animal nut) She wants to give one to my son, but, no way.

Oh My God.

That's all I can say.

My friend around the corner, well her husband LOVES gekkos. He has 4 tanks. FILLED with these things. I once went to their house and almost stepped on one.

Then I found a cricket on their stairway. Seems they FEED the crickets to the lizards.

I once said "how on earth can you have 4 tanks filled with lizards in your home".

She said 'They are not mine, they're HIS!!! "

lol

Woooo Hooooo they eat ants?????

Ive got those small biting black ants in the kitchen. Hope they get em!!!!!!

BTW after making this post yesterday, there were a total of 5 lizards on my screen!!!!!

They r stalking me!!!!

City girls!! We have non-poisonous snakes here, between them and our cats, we have no mice!!!! Snakes are entertaining in many ways.
DD was at a 3-day event in Baltimore (with another mom). One night she stepped on a dead rat. Another girl in the group screamed. The scary thing was in nightime Baltimore, no one responded.

Foxes (red and gray), bunnies, snakes, groundhogs, spiders, deer, lots of toads in the night, and owls - what we see, anything else I don't know about.

no foxes here!!!!!

Rat snakes (hatched in my house), water moccassins, those silly birds that nest under over hangs, turkey vultures w/ attitudes!!!!, spiders, scorpions, fire ants, skunks, armadillos (although i.ve never seen live ones), turtles, frogs, bunnies, packs of wild dogs, coyotes and a bunch of unidentified insects.

So really lizards in the house......not a big concern.

LOL :winky:

I would DROP DEAD WHERE I STOOD if I saw ANY of this.

I think I just might joint a monestary.

What's a turkey vulture by the way??
lol

OH!! :eek: How lucky you are. ;) I live in the city and there is NO chance I'd ever have a Geiko in my house unless I went out and bought one. I love lizards and reptiles of all kinds. I have an iguana right now, one of a longline of many I've had over the past few years. I only read your first post so I don't know how your situation has resolved itself but if it were me, I'd be feeding them. :D Giving them names and trying to talk them into staying. :wink: Lizards are just Too Cool.

It's now official!!!

You are ALL insane!!!

lol

Lizards as pets...giving them names, feeding them.....oh my god!!! lol
