Lizards and other wildlife

Sapo (toad) just outside Bill's back door, it's green, not orange really, that's an artifact of the flash (nighttime shot).

Brown Mass at base of tree is termite mound

Beautiful and large snails on a Papaya stalk

"Call Me!" (Honk Horn by squeezing round object, that's the front door bell!)

These are known as "whip spiders" (local name is Guaba' or Gvaba') and can grow to be a foot across or more.  Harmless to humans, they are the single ugliest creature ever.  They are carnivores and will even kill and eat a lizard!

Life is happening on all scales, this is a closeup of some small flowers.

See the two lizards?  When walking around Casa de Think, a minimum of 5 lizards are frightened into running.  There are always a lot of them scurrying around, but when they confront EACH OTHER their flight mechanism is subdued!

     They look at each other from the side, then threaten each other with open mouths ready to bite, see pix below.                         The darker one actually did latch his jaw onto the other one, who immediately played dead, and was eventually released.

They can walk up a vertical wall, especially ones as rough as the cement walls at Bill's.

Both Open Mouths Threatening, and they definitely do bite each other...
