Oh my word. I thought these Anoles were outside only. If Mrs. Nucky sees one of these cute little babies in the house we'll be back in N.J. before the sun goes down. It's like we're going to meet Marlin Perkins from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. What little bugger will be revealed next?

Alligators - and they aren't so little. And then there are boar, panther, bobcats, and don't forget snakes - both poisonous and not.

Hope we move next to Troy Landry from Swamp People. Choot 'Em Lizabeth! I'm safe cause them there aminals don't like spicy food! I'm cool with everything except those snakes.

Good morning good neighbors.

My imagination is running wild with the possibilities.

So let me send out a trial balloon on the possibility of an interest in an anole fighting ring on my lanai.

Contestants with trained anoles can apply to me and I will arrange a match by weight, length and sex. I will do all the promoting ,advertising and provide a generous food/beverage menu .

Clearly I do not want to be accused of harming animals. So the declared loser of every fight will be based on the first anole to lose his/her tail. I'll also provide a pre-paid cheer leaders unit (Wham Bam Wail...Hit Him In The Tail)

P.S. I've already filed my plans with the federal government and secured the required licensesby attending the three hour anole fighting ring training course required by the state of Florida . I'm good to go.

If this gig doesn't pan out I can always apply my training to be a traveling referee for the anole games

There are no anoles that are brave enough to survive the great lizard hunter Beau on our lanai.

Can you be certain there will not be any ringers - you know, baby gators, geckos, Gila monsters, etc?

dbussone: Hmmm outsiders bringing in ringers to the ring. Never thought about that possibility. Need to do more research. HOLY COW! never thought about doping either. This is getting complicated. I may be over my head here?
Farming one thing but anole fights . OH MAN would if the mob moves in on my gig. I'm getting discouraged

Well I am just bursting with pride. Daring and his bride had twins. Because of their adventurous exploring qualities I named them MP and LC in honor of three great explorers Marco Polo and Lewis and Clark.

The other day MC came knocking on my sliding glass door beckoning me to come out on the lanai to play with them.

So I grabbed my sandals and joined them. What a feeling of joy to see those little rascals transverse the lanai screen at record breaking speeds.

MC ran over to me looked up and said Uncle Rubi see what I can do. He instantly began the anole evasive and erratic move until his tail fell off and he stopped looked back at the tail on the ground, still wiggly, and said "see".

Wow! was my reply. Then I said do you think you could show Mrs Rubi that trick? MC gave me that look and said yea...in about a month.. wherein he and LC scooted off to places not well suited for Uncle Rubi. and as they departed, to compensate for this faux pas, I said MC if it pleases you I can hang your tail on the refrigerator door so other family members can view and share in your unique talent...MC MC MC

I just love those little guys
