PLFXpert 0 #1 January 5, 2008 Thank goodness the ocean warmed the air in our neighborhood just enough we didn't freeze. But, for three days in a row we were threatened with it and covered a few of our more finicky outdoor plants with sheets & towels. I did a load of laundry today including these used cover-up towels & sheets I'd just gathered up from around the house. After the wash cycle was complete, I started transferring the clean, wet laundry to the dryer and in one now-wadded-up towel a beautiful, bright green lizard fell out. The tears in my eyes were instantaneous. I reached to pick him up and to my surprise he moved away. The poor thing was trying to get away moving in circles, though. I finally captured him and placed him outside under a bush. I hope he'll be OK. I feel so awful! So, while I realize it sounds silly , please don't forget to check your outside sheets & towels for little fellows before washing them. Thank you.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Jewels 0 #3 January 5, 2008 Aww, poor little guy! He might be sudsy for a while, but it sounds like he's okay. Good luck, little greenie!TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #4 January 5, 2008 Yea,um, that lizard is now a lizardcicle if it was close to freezing outside. You could have let him go in your attic/basement and he would have eaten any bugs that may have gotten inside in an attempt to stay warm.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #6 January 6, 2008 Yea, um...if it were still close to freezing I wouldn't be washing the cover-up sheets. It's not like the plants care if they're dirty. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #8 January 6, 2008 Shpanks!At least someone cares (unlike mnealtx .) Seriously, I feel so terrible. I don't even know how he survived. It was a full load and I didn't even use the organic-OK-to-swallow detergent. He's a trooper. I shall call him "Lucky Lenny". Although it should be noted I call all the bright green lizards around our house "Lenny". Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #9 January 6, 2008 Hey, at least I apologized in advance!! I had this mental pic of the poor little guy trying to walk, and wobbling around like a drunken sailor! Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #10 January 6, 2008 Pussy. Little green snakey is not going to hurt you. Pick it up and place it in your annoying neighbor's yard. It's a win-win. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #11 January 6, 2008 Quote I had this mental pic of the poor little guy trying to walk, and wobbling around like a drunken sailor! Oh my gosh, that's exactly what he was doing! It'd be funny if I knew he later turned out to be OK. OK, I admit it's already a little funny.But, I still feel really awful and can't believe I didn't think to inspect the sheets. Whenever I repot plants (my Christmas cacti) this time of year I always find slumbering lizards in the pot--sometimes five or six of them in one pot! I should have known better.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
