Leapin', wait, I meant FROZEN lizards!


Recently, there's been a very cold snap here in Northeast Florida. So cold, that our poor reptiles are suffering! While on an Ecology of Amelia nature tour on Saturday, Allaire (11) and Olivia (8) and their dad found this poor green anole laying upside-down and half frozen! He hitched a ride back to the nature center in Amanda Hardy's warm glove. The girls decided to name him after their Dad, Bob. Bob (the lizard) was so cold that he didn't want to get off of Amanda's glove at all! Finally he settled for a spot by the hot lamp. We'll keep him for a few days and then release him when it's a little warmer out!

  1. Welcome to the blog! We may need a forum if this trend continues. Speaking of trends, they say this is the start of the next ice age...so get ready Amelia Island.

    I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. "Groundhog Day"
