Freddy's BACK with friends



Freddy is back in the bathing suit condo. He might be Freddy or Freddy II.. who knows? He is sharing the bathing suit condo with a 5 inch long Big Black Lizard.. who might be Leonard the 12th and I talk to both of them. Today, Saturday May 11, 2019 I was taking photos of the female on the blue towel and asking where is  Leonard II? Leonard II is HUGE and black, about 5 to 6 inches . Leonard and Freddy have been sharing the bathing suit for about 10 days.

I talked to Lizzie the II or III and Freddy II, assured them I meant no harm, asked Freddy II if he and his pals could keep the Croaks down to a low roar and I went inside. At noon, I went to see who was HOME and screamed to Bob...

A Curly Tail Anole, I have never seen one, BOB says WHAT? I say Holly posted one on FB and said she had never seen one. She lives directly across the state of FL from us and is a friend I worked with for years. She and her husband are wildlife photographers. Now we have one... (a curly tail, not a wildlife photographer.)

I ran in the house and grabbed the camera and fussed about the sun in the wrong direction. Then I got these using the flash and scared Curly to death and he dove inside the condo. NO MORE PICS.

Came in to investigoogle and OH NO.... Curly Tails are PREDATORS and EAT brown anoles. I will spare you the photo I found on line.
Now I wonder if Leonard Jr is dead and gone and been cannibalized... More Soon

Bathing beauties!!

I wonder if there is some sort of condo association that can inform all the residents that there is a predator now living amongst them. Lizzie might find that curly tail of his attractive but she could become an unsuspecting victim.

We could make a political stand, and start a #curlytail movement across the nation. POUND curlytails!

Ugh, I wasn't expecting THAT. On second glance, ole' CurlyTail isn't as cute as I thought. I hope Lizzie and the boys stay safe!

You Sandra, have such amazing sagas.
I haven't seen our little lizards out and about yet.
Maybe it's because I don't have a bathing suit condo for them....
Or maybe I haven't sweet talked them into feeling comfortable.'Maybe it's because the lawn guys use that heavy duty blower all around their hiding places...
Great story

Those pictures are awesome!

Trouble in the jungle!! You got GREAT pictures, and I have never seen any creature live in a bathing suit! I think he is hiding there waiting to pounce on someone. Mr. curly does look like a croc, so it would fit that he is a predator. Mini Croc is what I'll call him, see the face. I wonder if he bites people. YES, more pictures! Just do not use the flash. I have now had my National Geographic fix for the day. Cannot wait for your continuing story. What an amazing post!!!!!
