Big loaf and his tiny little shadow void nephew loaf
He looks very phallic from that angle.
yes yes Mon county (: never knew lol
Are any reptiles vectors for lyme disease? I have only ever heard of mammals getting it.
That ain’t look like a lizard
I remember when I was a kid I used to chase those all the time
I hear if you cook these with extra monster parts you gain immunity to Lyme for a given period of time.
Wish I had that power. Ticks are bad this Spring.
Looks like one of them Ty Flippable Soft Toys!
Lucky bastards.
Just eat clay
Why he blue
But not an immunity to lookin’ fresh, it seems!
How the hell did you catch him? Those boys are so fast
*wishes to be cured/imune to lyme disease
*Genie turns me into a lizard
Oh THAT’S what they’re called! I used to catch them all the time as a kid, they were surprisingly friendly once they realized you weren’t gonna hurt them. Suiting name, they DID absolutely love fences.
Cyberpunk 2077 customized dicks be lookin like:
Beautiful coloring!
Aww man, this really brought me back, we would call them “blue bellies” as kids.
Keep your cat indoors so these guys can eat more ticks.
He looks like one of those cheap sequin pillows you can find at Walmart… I love it
I’m gonna Dr. Connors this and turn into a super villain
when i was little we called them bluebellies.
we still call them that, but we did when we were little, too
I used to catch these for lyme disease research! Most fun I’ve ever had on a job.
It looks like one of those color changing sequins pillows
Not to be confused with Southern Lounge Lizards…
AND they’re stunningly beautiful!!! What a win-win lizard friend. Thanks Western Fence Lizards!!!
Bluebelly lizards!
This will sound stupid brace yourself…can I gain immunity by eating it? If not by eating one, what about a steady diet over a course of a few weeks?
bro he’s clearly waiting for a belly rub don’t leave him hanging
Ahhh, the lime is so sexy.
Does it get rid of my Lyme disease if I rub it on my skin??
he looks so chill
They also help prevent the spread of Lyme disease, since ticks that feed on these lizards who carry Lyme disease will no longer have the disease after they feed on the lizard!
Same with alligator lizards and a couple other species I believe
TLDR: be nice to these little guys, they are doing good work
Blue
And they blue, tho 😯
