Funny, I never knew what they looked like either
until I started working for the people I do and until I moved house. 'Course you know how big they are, since they're so noticeable. Looks like them lizards kinda have some glue thing going on too, 'cause you'll be going about your business and find their leavings nicely attached to walls. Maybe the white stuff acts as the glue and the 'sealant' for their back end 'til the next time they're ready to pop a load again. Oops!, I'm sure you didn't need to know all that.

they are harmless or at least I think so. My cats enjoy "playing" with them.

OFFBEAT....
I didn't know they are a sign of good luck. Fancy that! I know they eat the mosquitoes and stuff. There are a few of them - croakers - hanging out at my house too. The thing is, harmless is relative. When one of them falls to the floor and goes SPLAT! cause they're so heavy, it's enough to send me running off at top speed. A body could get a heart attack from fright.

They are supposed to be a sign of good luck. They do eat flies and bugs, they are harmless. I miss them!

Wisdom teeth extraction? That's gotta hurt! Lots! Hope you have some heavy duty painkillers with you.

HG, sometimes I wonder if these animals -
if you can call lizards that - aren't saying stuff like "Take that! And that! And that!" when they leave trails of droppings strategically placed like that.

TIMMY, a toothbrush would do,
but who want's to be that close to lizard mess.
I'd use something a little longer myself.

Katray, be advised that the monitor is an exaggeration in
comparison to the ones we have. The biggest croaker I've seen is about 6-8 inches. Monitors on the other hand grow to 12 inches or more. Thankfully, we don't have those here!

Zarro,
I have to look at what I wrote in my About Me Page. I didn't say that people don't like me. Based on your post - you said a few people were mad with you - I wondered what you have been doing to cause this.
Thanks for the compliment and no, I'm not a pro. I just like exploring. You'll get the hang of everything soon, I'm sure.

Eww, for a lizard (in my limited sightings and experience)

If one or more took up residence in my home, I'd be moving out, lol. Thanks for showing it Word.

Can't remember your age?
Hey, if you're having trouble remembering your age, tell me your birthdate and I'll figure it out for you. I looked at your 'about me' page.
You made the comment on my comments page, maybe the reason people don't like you is because of something you're doing. Now, what do you think?
You are a computer pro obviously with all the fancy things you do on your site. I'm struggling with just getting new updates onto the blogit and trying to figure out how to do comments.
You have a real knack for writing to be sure, I'll try to find and read all of your entries. Zarrothepauna alpha

That lizard here is cute, but the ones you describe don't sound like much fun. Glad their not around my corner of the world - monitor size as in computer monitor? They're big little critters. With droppings to prove it. Ugh!
