Singing non-geico geckos? Whatchootalkin'bout Shell? LOL Where are
you? Florida?

I've been trying to get someone's kids to catch a bunch of fence
swifts and skinks and newly changed from tadpole toads and bring them
over here and turn them loose in my yard! The lizards eat bugs, and
the toads eat bugs, and SLUGS!!!! I have tons of little gray slugs
that will take a trip up to the top of a 5' tall dahlia to eat holes
in the petals and then go down again by sunup! That's got to be like
climbing Mt. Everest overnight and having dinner at the top and going
home by morning and being snug in your bed before your daddy catches
you! LOL Ain't Nature grand! Well Nature makes toads to eat those
wayward slugs, and I want 'em!! ;-)
