I just rescued a dinosaur....

He was quite cute, perhaps three inches from nose to tip of long tail, and proudly on his feet, head raised, tail out--and I was perhaps 5 steps ahead of his death, two Burmese up from their naps. I feared a lizard grab a la my friend Thinker, so herded him onto a laundry basket and took him outside.

The anole let me know who was boss by refusing to be herded--he hopped out a hole in the lattice of the basket! And then ran 18 inches in the dry leaves, changing color as he moved.

I'm glad he's okay--we had to put out a sweet bait for the rover ants, and I was worried about the anoles. With luck, everyone died underground...
