The assistant manager put together a cute little terrarium and moved him in there. I think we later added a stray tropical frog that came in on another shipment. It was actually quite a conversation piece - the customers, especially those with kids, really seemed to enjoy it.

They are legion down here and even though they're an introduced and invasive species, they are why we don't have house flies in Florida. I've never seen them go after anything as small as an aphid, but to see one square off against a palmetto bug is drama itself. It's like a scaled down version of Godzilla versus Mothra.

Can't believe you're letting yours head off to a retirement home when she could be eating aphids and the like. I have never stopped wanting anoles again since my sixth-grade pair, the Borgias (Cesare and Rodrigo).
