The noise scared my lizard something frightful!

Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they’re pretty resilient.

Once a car jumped the curb and managed to fly over a chain link fence and land in my parents front yard. On flat ground. Had to take the fence apart to get the car out.

That’s what the trees were for! But yeah, someone managed to dodge all that.

If this was a typical thing, I probably would, but I’m not too worried about repeat instances. I also am fortunate to have a crawlspace under my home, so they’d be hitting the bricks & rebar before they get to my windows.

However, with those larger stupid trucks I often see, neither a boulder nor a brick barrier would matter much.

Time to set up some boulders to protect your house from idiots like this

Everybody is talking about the lizard but what about the dough (clay?) with the lamp directed at it??

EDIT: nevermind, I’m an idiot. I had no idea it was a flat rock.

Lizards are cold blooded so they typically warm themselves in the sun on some heated up rocks.

That’s a flat rock used for basking! It’s supposed to be a bit more off-center from the heat lamp so that it doesn’t get too hot, but he loves to flatten out/pancake on a warm rock.

Awe :) you’re a good lizard owner. Just look at him looking up at you, like “is it okay to bask right now?”

Your kindness warms my heart. It means a lot to hear it be said. Thank you!

He’s a brave boy, and he got to watch the pretty lights of the police cars as they directed traffic, so he was pretty pleased.
