Now, here in South Florida we have lizards, geccos as they're also known, and they're pretty small. Typically they're no more than 4" in length. But this face I knew belonged to something bigger. So I checked it out from outside:
Mind you, this is a baby iguana. I've seen the big ones, and they can be as long as a baby gator. We have a canal about 7 or 8 blocks from our house and it's chock full of 'em. Once in a while they roam around, especially when it's been raining as much as it's been here. They're looking for drier ground. They don't usually come this far, though, so I was surprised to see the little guy outside my window. I don't go near them; you never know how they'll react to strangers. What attracts me is how colorful these creatures are. I'm glad to be able to share this wonderous animal with you.
