Anole!
This is Bobby Boo. I caught him and put him in a box so we could get some kind of home for him at the pet store but J let him out by mistake. This guy jumped several feet to the wall to get away. Can you believe it? He was gray, but he changed colors after a minute or two so he could match the wall as best as he could. One of these days, maybe I'll get a photo of him when he's gray.
Both boys think he's pretty cool. I was going to let him out, but then I remembered all the geckos we had in our house growing up in the Philippines and changed my mind. It won't be long before we'll have bugs again and we will want Bobby Boo around so he (she?) can eat them up for us. He's pretty harmless and just stares at us unless we get too close then he runs away (wouldn't you?). The boys are learning to keep a nice distance from him so he won't run off. I told them not to pick him up at all so he doesn't feel the need to lose his tail (not sure if anoles do that like other lizards). We just have to make sure not to vacuum him up by accident or something.
He'll come in handy when we get to reptiles in our Zoology studies.

My brother had a few anoles as a kid. I had one jump from his hands to cling to the side of mine. You should have heard me scream, lol, since I had no idea it was coming.
We used to feed them crickets if memory serves.
This guy is gonna get fed, I think. I've found a few tiny spiders here and there.
FYI: If you ever feed any animal crickets, and get those crickets in large plastic bags from the pet store, don't open said bag and let the crickets escape.
Just trust me, okay?
