Nancy in Sun Lakes AZ said...: I deleted my previous comment because I called Nina a "he." What I wanted to say is that you have created a beautiful home for her and that I know she appreciates it! Do you really know ... he/she????; August 22, 2009 at 6:15 PM
mr_subjunctive said...: Yes: we're fairly sure she's a she. It's a variable species, but allegedly only females have the diamond pattern down the center of the back.; August 22, 2009 at 6:53 PM
lynn'sgarden said...: Nina is fully grown? Looks like she's enjoying the sun on her back...or is that grow lighting? An unusual pet for sure ;); August 23, 2009 at 1:24 AM
CelticRose said...: She's adorable! :-); August 23, 2009 at 9:25 AM
our friend Ben said...: Wow, Mr. S.! I remember your early pictures of Nina and can see how she's flourishing under your care. I've never seen such a healthy-looking anole. A cover girl for sure. Congratulations!; August 23, 2009 at 11:55 AM
Anonymous said...: That's one great shot - good lighting, nice pattern and a model that would be a star in any lineup.; August 23, 2009 at 3:04 PM

Sure, but now she's turning into a diva: the crickets have to all be of a certain size, species, and temperature, and she'll trash the dressing room if there's even one spider. . . .; August 23, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Lance said...: She looks bigger - is that just a trick of the lens? Or is she growing up?; August 23, 2009 at 6:30 PM
mr_subjunctive said...: Hard to say. I don't think she's much bigger than she was in March, but all the plants have changed in size a lot more than she could have, so it makes direct comparison difficult.; August 23, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Lance said...: She looks happy, if a lizard can look happy.; August 23, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Zeï said...: She is so pretty! She looks happy :); August 23, 2009 at 8:42 PM

Ass-covering legal disclaimer that should really be perfectly obvious to anybody reading this anyway

The thoughts, opinions, life choices, etc. discussed in this blog are those of its author, and are not necessarily endorsed by his former employer, nor were they ever necessarily endorsed by his former employer before she was former. In fact, I'm pretty sure we disagreed about a lot of stuff, which was additional incentive not to discuss anything that didn't relate pretty directly to plants. And as far as it goes, we disagreed about a fair amount of stuff directly relating to plants, too.

In any case. Nothing in this blog should be taken to represent my former employer's views on anything, except for the few things explicitly identified as her opinions, and even then it's possible I've misunderstood or exaggerated what her actual views were. So if you want to know what she thinks about stuff you should just ask her.
