My husband took a picture of a lizard sunning in the yard yesterday, scary looking creature. It must have been 8 inches long with a red funny looking comb like thing. The neighbors said they live under their shed and aren't poisonous.
As for the hawk, I never leave him outside alone. Even at night I can hear owls, I know they fly without making noise. The little guy only weighs 4.5 lbs....so I never let my guard down there.
Snakes, yes, are another concern. My husband killed a nice sized coral snake by the outside faucet last summer. That's why we try to keep the vegetation to a minimum other than the flower beds we have. |
we lived in brevard county and one night my husband was walking the dog about 10pm ( when it was a little cooler out) anyway, he could hear large wings flapping but couldn't see anything, he instinctivly swooped up our dog. Right at that moment this bird fell out of the sky. as it was swooping down for our dog it hit a telephone line and broke its neck! the Next day my hubby was sweeping a large dead owl into a large trash bag! I shutter to think what would or could have happened.
We can never be to careful.
