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.
Glad you and your lizard are safe!
Thank you! We were pretty fortunate this time.
Lizard is looking at the camera like you seeing this shit
Bearded dragons absolutely have a knack for stupid reaction faces!
Time to buy a boulder to go in front of the window
How much does a boulder go for nowadays?
I know a guy with a really nice boulder. Unfortunately it’s in the swamp.
Try to cheat Death and piss off the gods for a free one with unlimited warranty.
You must deal with the delivery yourself though.
I’m sure someone will find a way to drive right over / through them.
They’ll make a bigger car to drive over it
You have to be happy for the little things in life like a car not smashing through your conservatory.
Have you given thanks that your home hasn’t been run into by a car today? 🙏
I was eating at a restaurant one time with some people from out of town when a car drove past the window. Nobody really seemed to interested when I pointed it out until I also pointed out that there is not a road outside that window. The car had jumped the curb, threaded the needle between a stop sign and fire hydrant, and made it about 80 feet through the park before stopping. The cops were still dealing with the guy when I left the restaurant, he was clearly very inebriated.
He just wanted to check out your lizard
There are better ways to do it that don’t involve a phone call to the police, I assure you!
It is important that the cops also know about this cool lizard I found
911 look at this dude 😎
Bill their insurance for your lilies. Driving is a privilege and drivers should take responsibility for their mistakes while driving.
Considering the damage they did to the other car involved (you can see their trunk popped open behind the wannabe monster truck), I’m sure they’ll be paying in some way or another. They’re certainly not getting away with it without significant consequences!
I just had some grass & a few flowers torn up, so I’m very fortunate. Not looking to weaponize the system against them. Just want the folks who suffered the actual damages to get paid. Hopefully this teaches the distracted driver a valuable lesson!
Was that driver under influence? Nevertheless, interesting photo.
They were definitely on grass.
Get out of here. Also, take my upvote while you’re leaving. (Nice pun i really appreciated it)
(I’m glad you did, because I hated it, haha.)
Texting and driving, I think. Please do not check/use your phone while driving!
I believe they ran a stop sign, hit someone else, & proceeded to drive frantically up the curb. I’m very fortunate they stopped short of my home!
I regard being on the phone while driving, as practically being “under influence”. I mean there are some surprisingly similar symptoms…
And indeed, a good thing they stopped before hitting your place.
Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love… sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time “just enough” but even looking away for one second caused the crash.
Learn from my err friend, don’t look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.
Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.
How do you deal with the lizard poop? Does it just poop everywhere?
He has his own enclosure, too! But poop really isn’t as issue. They telegraph pretty clearly when they’re about to poop. They’ll move around more frantically before they do, do the classic slight tail lift + butt wiggle, and then
decimate everythinglet it all out. If you’re paying attention, you’ll usually catch them before they stink up your floors.Water actually triggers their poop reflex, too! So owners often soak their dragons in the tub to have them poop before letting them roam.
Can you train them to poop in specific areas or is it just a crap shoot?
Edit: I’m far more interested in your lizard than the dude on your lawn lol
I personally prefer interesting creatures over vehicular trespassing, so it’s understandable.
Bearded dragons typically only poop every few days or even once a week! So it’s not like a daily thing, unless there’s something going on with their health or they’ve drank/eaten more than usual (they WILL try to eat as many insects as possible, if given the opportunity!). Plus, it’s not like a dog-sized poop or anything, but it is pretty loose and nasty, admittedly.
They can’t really be trained to poop in specific places, which is why a lot of owners use the bathtub method. Just fill up the tub/container a bit with warm water (usually it’s enough so that they are submerged up to the base of their tail), put your dragon in, and within a few seconds to minutes, you have a freshly emptied dragon! Just drain/dump the poopy water, and you don’t have to worry about poop on your floors, blankets, yourself, etc.!
That’s one little chunky boy.
He puffed up at all the commotion! Gotta look big and scary at the big noise.
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.
Glad your scaly friend is OK!
Am I the only one who sees an alien trapped in your curtains?!
I looked quickly and that’s what the pattern looks like with the way your curtains fall 😅
You okay? How many fingers am I holding up?
12? 😅 lol, it’s literally the first thing I saw
Listen: if the alien can’t manage to get out of some curtains, they were not meant for this world.
I didn’t the first time, but I did after reading your comment.
I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
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.
that’s for the lizard? xD
Lizards are cold blooded so they typically warm themselves in the sun on some heated up rocks.
Was looking at your post and this crazy incident popped up on my phone: https://apnews.com/article/long-island-minivan-nail-salon-crash-5e9fc211611203204bc37f4a436ca9b7
Well
This makes me extra thankful.
At first I read cat and I spent a few minutes looking for the kitty
I gotchu
Meow am cat gib food pls x
Tell your kitty I love him.
He responded with a confused head tilt and licked a cardboard tube.
I apparently don’t speak cat very well, so interpret that how you will.
I love your cat
