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.

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.

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.

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