Say hello to my little friend...

My friend was ever so kind to bring a lizard to me in the hopes of scaring me...thankfully those are not the things that make me scream and run. I just took it from him and held it for awhile. I admit I followed suit and attempted to scare a few people with it. There are a number of people that get very jumpy and swerve and dodge you when you happen to when you walk up to...ok, semi-chase...them with this. Believe it or not, they get even bigger than this. I was being nice to it...stopped holding his head too tight and even made it the star of a photo shoot...

Then it turned around and bit me on the hand, right on the tender part between my thumb and index finger. I might have let out a little scream then...and rapidly tossed it to the ground.
