Cold Blooded Visitor!


Cold Blooded Visitor in Church! This Puerto Rico Crested Anole came for a visit to church this week. Puerto Rico is covered with these lizards. They are even on the walls of buildings in the centers of towns. This type of lizard is about 3 inches in length, not including the tail. The tail is about 150% of the body length for at total length of 7.5 inches. What makes it interesting is that they dart out from under things during the service and pounce on any bugs that are in the church. This is OK with me, except when I am preaching! When a large moth lands on a window sill, sometimes one of these guys runs down the wall and goobles it up. Then they bob their heads up and down to claim that spot as their own. I have learned to wait a moment when all this drama is going on. Whatever is said during a lizard/moth encounter is pretty much not remembered! I usually just make the event a part of my sermon and keep on preaching!
