The Lizard Who Came to Visit

In my little apartment, I sometimes wonder how I managed to live alone in a two-story rattling old house back in Latvia and not be afraid. It was always quiet there out in the suburbs and I knew all of my neighbors and actually it was not much different from where I now live. We have a little quiet suburban street and I can only hear the traffic rolling by on the main street. As I do my work on my PC I do not pay much attention to what is going on around me because what can be going on around me? I am all alone and there is no one else around. So any strange noise I hear I know that it must come from downstairs but today I kept hearing a kind of light rapping. So I looked all around and finally, I saw him, as you can see in the picture, on my wooden wall swishing his tail about and I guess that made some noise. He had come to visit and to do away with any pesky bugs I might have.

We see them outside in Florida sometimes. They are harmless little guys. Did the cats see him?

@RasmaSandra Glad to hear the cats weren’t around. We have more geckos than lizards around our place in Florida. My brother’s dog used to have fun chasing them.

Actually I would not mind if he stayed around or came every day but they usually come and go @JohnRoberts

Lizards in our home are like pets to us. They steal some food crumbs but we just let them.

House lizards tend to have the same color of the walls in the house they live in. My aunt has white painted walls and they call the lizards in their house ‘americanos’. :))

It's good to have a little lizard there to eat the flies and bugs.

Handy little visitor, I like lizards as long as they aren't the biting kind.

I used to get these when I had Momma Kitty and she would catch them. Of course they were gifts for me.
