If you are in the shop over the next few months and this guy pops up don’t fret, and watch that you don’t step on him cause he blends in pretty dang well. His name is Larry, and I’m presumptuous Larry is a he and not a she cause I don’t really know how to check. Anyway, I’ve caught Larry and released him outside at least three times but apparently Larry is an inside anole and doesn’t care much for the heat so he’s right back in here the next day. Me being the hardest softy you’ll ever know, have allowed Larry to live inside. I think anoles are the patron saint of jewelers as I have at least two a year in the shop. Every. Single. Year. They won’t make it through the winter and I’ll find their little dried up skeletons in a corner when I sweep. But until then, ol Larry here is content and allowed to live out his remaining days inside the shop with me. Larry is currently chilling just inside the doorway on the floor. I’ll keep ya’ll posted on his whereabouts as he pops up.
