Well, I walk downstairs to the family room, and what do I see? I ____ing LIZARD!

So I'm trying to keep my cat away from it, but Butterscotch (my cat), was determined to kill it.

As you can see, the lizard was scared out of its mind, and my cat actually bit it to where it started to bleed.

Anyone know what kind of lizard this is?

On to the pics!

 

Holy cow Alex, that is a huge cat and a huge lizard. That lizard looks like it belongs in the Desert, not TX. Let us know what it is if you find out.

 

BEWARE OF GUARD CAT!

I am glad I live in Iowa where I don't have to worry about those "snakes with legs"

 

Yeah lol, the cat is huge. He's not fat, but just a large cat.

in reality, that Lizard is about 9-11" in length.


Just did some research, and it's a Texas Spiny Lizard.

 

pretty coloring.

 

Butterscotch doesn't look so determined to kill it in that first pic.. Looks like s/he(?)'s about to fall asleep. I'd freak out if i saw something like that in my house.

 

That's a cool looking lizard..

We have hundreds of them around my house, but they're just plain brown.

 

That's a nice lookin lizard!

 

That's a nice lookin lizard!

 

lol, that was after he tried to bit the things head off.

 

poor lizard. is he ok?

 

well, where I let him go this morning, he's now gone from that area.

so, he either A. Got eaten or B. ran away

 

is it a blue belly?

 

texas spiny lizard.

____in huge thing.

 

$15 shipped?

 

haha i litterally busted out laughin when is saw this post.

 

My darn cats bring in birds and lizards all the time. I have to say the lizards here are not THAT big.

 

and noone wants to quote me for it.. i'm so sad.. i'm going to take pics at angles.. and start wearing tight pants and swishy hair.

 

^rofl.

Dude you're so random.

Random but hilarious.

 

Yeah definitely a spiney lizard. Usually aroud desert/arid conditions. Eats crickets and other insects I believe. Not the kind that bleeds from its eyes to frighten things away though. Those are fatter looking. Prolly wouldn't hurt you if it bit you anyways. Maybe a little pinprick but that's about it.
