zing!

Hi-Oooooooooooooo

The lizard apparently knocked over a heat lamp atop the cage and it landed on a comforter lying on the floor.

And it's his fault the comforter was right under the heat lamp, I suppose.

I wish I was in tijuana
eating barbecued iguana

/no relation to whatever company that is... lizard. insurance. burninator.

I suppose the bigger question would be "why the hell do you need a heat lamp in Florida?"

/yes, I know "It's not always 85 if Florida you stupid Yankee"

Ok I don't think you would see anything out of the ordinary either if you had a medium sized dog and a halogen lamp placed next to a coach or something..... until your biatch knocks the lamp over and destroys everything.


An another note, take that you damn lizard.

Starting Friday off on a good note!

...Lizard to be renamed Trogdor...

Hmm, I'm guessing it's one of the specially bred varieties of bearded dragons, such as sandfire crosses. There aren't many bright orange lizards outside of those.

Oh, and if my bearded dragon (or rattlesnake, or kitten, or any of the rest of the pack) did that I would bring him back to kick his ass.

Of course, I'm smart enough to make sure there aren't any heat lamps near flammable materials.

Oh, and here's one of the orange bearded dragons.


The normal coloration looks like this, and if you really piss them off (like hitting them in the head with a door...) they look like this.

This thread is useless with out a picture of a crispy lizard!

If the words "before he roasted" were removed, that would be a perfect headline.

He is a gecko.

But the robot is OK though... right?

Is it just me, or does it sound like the lizard saved money just before he got high?

big_pth wins. very nice ... made me lol.

In other news, it's mating season for iguanas. The males tend to get mean and nasty, and really get agitated if there's a female of *any* species mestruating in the vicinity. Or if they see anything red. Those are exceptions of course, as horny igs will freak out for no reason at all. A testosterone overload or something-- too much testosterone for too few brain cells.
But ya gots ta be carefull with the heat lamps, especially the ceramics--- have a nice 3inch diameter burn in the rug from a heat lamp, so I can see how in a house like the one in question, populated by random crap lying all over the place could catch fire quite easily. Buncha dirty beatniks need to clean their house once in a while...
In closing, I got nothing.

reminds me of my favourite story I heard on an iguana keepers forum

evidently it was mating season for this guy's male iguana, it got loose and wound up in a neighbors yard where it proceded to turn their (male) rottweiller into his prison biatch

I for one, welcome our lizard overlords!

Sidi,

Thanks for the laugh out loud!

/hates teeny-bobber internet speak

I wish I had submitted this earlier with this headline.

this wasnt the first time the marshall inspected a fire caused by a lizard and a heat lamp??

Only in florida...

ohhh... I gotta read this one. Got a link?

I hate that stupid lizard almost as much as that "Can You Hear Me Now" guy.

I'm glad he's dead.

best headline ever.

/hates the geico commercials

Ant: ...Smoking sticky marijuana

That could be the next line for your poem.

/geico has the best commercials evar

TAKE ME TO YOUR LIZARD

Chewy?

Chewy chewy
chewy chewy
chewy chewy baby.

Great Wall of Voodoo reference. I'm constantly surprised how many people my age remember that song.

I think this means that our bearded dragon, who keeps escaping his cage and sits on top of us, is trying to kill us.
He gets this really evil look on his face when he does it too...Freaks me out.

when the music's over, turn out the light. turn out the light. turn out the light.

Geico is the worst insurance company I have ever had the displeasure to deal with. Refused to total my brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee after it was broadsided by a drunk in the early afternoon. Apparently 17,000 bucks or so wasn't 70% the value of the vehicle. The body shop is even more craptastic too. Later on I come to learn the frame is twisted, so nothing works right anymore.

I've got doors hung funny, inner door panels that come off in my hand whole when I pull them closed, tinted windows that don't match and don't meet the door, a power window motor they replaced that just failed, cowls coming apart, scratches galore, battery and engine problems, and a fun electrical problem just to name a few. Tallahassee Jeep can suck my left nut. The electrical problem is the most fun though. Sometimes it just won't start, the gauges will just dance. Other times when it does start, everything but the engine will die, so you'll be driving down the highway with no headlights, going 0 mph with the tach at 0 and no gas on the gauge.

In other news, my girlfriend has a uromastyx, not a bearded dragon, but they look somewhat similar. That animal is the most boring thing on earth. It's life literally revolves around 1) walking around it's cage(which it rarely does, I've seen it maybe 4 times in 3 years), 2) shedding and 3) pooping. I don't think it's smart enough to flip over it's heat lamp.

Chewy?!
They should rename him after a candy bar beings he's now crunchy on the outside and still their cute little chewy on the inside.

/just woke up.
now my cats are lookin at me funny.

Hey Jeep!

Is that a pic of your jeep in your profile?

/sorry. :)

I have always said - lizards are not pets, they are small aligators that live in the sewer and will eventually burn you house down. This just proves my point.

here, lizard lizard lizard lizard lizard

What is with this random accumulation of animals, anyway? Another lizard, fifty-nine cats. Enough already. Here's a thought, DON'T GET A PET THAT CAN'T SURVIVE IN THE AREA'S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT and then try to artificially create what he needs (dry heat) in your damn house in the tropics, next to the sawdust-filled comforter.

Methinks Abdul just showed off how young he is.

/i'm on a wavelength far from home

The lizard apparently knocked over a heat lamp atop the cage and it landed on a comforter lying on the floor. That ignited the fire that caused an estimated $20,000 in damage to the modest three-bedroom rental house and destroyed the house that Jack built.

Funny post, I like the lizard

An orange lizard that started a fire? I think it was a salamander!

Great headline, probably the best laugh I'll get today.

PET LIZARD!? IN Florida!? You just can't get away from the damned things. They jump around walls and ceilings like those monkeys on The Jungle Book. When they fall down you can hear it.. papf.. papf.. like rain.

The cats get most of them, but.. they are a horrible invasive pest like spiders or roaches. Why would you keep a pet roach if you had roaches?

Wanted for questioning...
