Have you ever eaten Western Fence Lizard?
We have them all over Coastal California.
Kitty brings one to me fairly often.
I pretend to eat them, but I do not. They do not look that tasty to me.
I "pretend eat" them and them release them.
Kitty is satisfied.
At least I think she is.
This morning he brought me a Western Fence Lizard and dropped it at my feet.
I thanked her and reached for it, but it ran off. I think it wound up beneath my desk
We searched together for a new minutes, but could not find it.
I found three of the seven flashlights I have here, but all of them were dead.
God works in mysterious ways.
Finally we gave up.
I opened my front door so the lizard could escape.
Kitty is out looking for more now and I am working on the AR-3as.
Have you ever dined on Western Fence Lizard? Have you even met a Western Fence Lizard?
I will try to find a photo I took of one that jumped on my hand on a cool day.

It looks like a miniature alligator.

I would not try to eat lizard. However, we get them all over the house. Chilly could care less. One got into our bedroom, and he just stared at it from across the room.

@TheHorse ........Yes, cats have that quickness. I had a salamander for a while when I was younger.

They are hard to catch, Kitty must be a expert hunter. There is one here that runs up to me and just freezes like we chilling, but Delta our dog always runs it off. Our dogs can never catch them. Tristan was a master at catching Rabbits, and squirrels, but he couldn't even catch them lizards.

I have never heard about these lizards, We have tiny little lizards here I see hopping about the roof, Our cat Sid in Latvia would bring in field mice and then it was a Tom and Jerry cartoon situation. Sid would release the mouse, and my husband would attempt to grab it, Sid would pick it up and then my husband chased him around until he got the mouse and then dropped it over the fence into the neighbor's yard

@kobesbuddy I ate rattlesnake in California. On a rafting trip. It was in our campsite. I think we under-cooked it.
