 :thumb: :green:  There are lots of those thing around.  Below is a pic from about a month ago of the house under construction.  I tell everyone it is my insurance agent.  They are not a big issue.  The house did get held up for a bit for an Eagle's Nest in a wooded preserve behind that but they are moving along again and I'll be down there for a few days in a couple of weeks when they are doing the electrical/low voltage

Lizard life spans are short (less than a few years I believe) so my guess is he heard about the 20 year warranty and figured it would be a good move. :D

My family is/was in Florida. The little lizards popping around the bamboo in the backyard. With their heads bobbing.. Loved them. And the mockingbirds..
Doubt you'd get a mockingbird in a shipment though..

James,

What was the story involving Audiocomm in Greenwich, CT?  A while back, you told me to ask the owner about something in a tuner or speakers, but the owner wasn't around when I visited.  The staff said something about a bird in a speaker, but they weren't sure.  Since I don't live near Greenwich anymore, I can't go in and ask.

That's a smart lizard.  Relaxin' on top of a Bryston would be nirvana for a lizard.

You've got a shop mascot!
A big tank, UV light, heat source, water, some plants and then see what the little guy likes to eat.  Crickets?

Hi all Audio Circle members.
Here on planet Vietnam we have plenty of those little critters. (Lezards)
It's fun to see them walk up side down on the ceiling,
but when they shit on your stuff, you want to shoot them...

Hmm... This scenario reminds me of a science fiction movie from way back in the 70s. A radioactive or mutated reptile got into somebody's shipment and somehow infected the main character of the movie who started mutating - it all started quite harmlessly with a really weird rash and then his eyes started bleeding. The poor soul died a horrible death near the end of the movie and the reptile evaded capture and ended up infecting the whole town, talk about déjà vu! I think it was a Japanese movie.

Be well...
