We have a long aquarium tank to house it in right now. <br /><br />I'm guessing if/when the care for it slacks off, any releasing of it should happen outside my husband's office building so we're not expanding its region.

The fears about it eradicating the native species remind me of how the Grey Squirrel, which I believe originally came from the USA ;), has had such a terrible effect on our own Red Squirrel, the greys carry a virus which devastates the reds, although with careful work they have been re-introduced in some areas of the UK.<br /><br />P.S.

Had a great time today!<br /><br />Warren...the herpetologist are very curious too. They are more aggressive than native species, but their preferred environment is a little different than the two varieties of skinks in the nature preserve here.<br /><br />Ken...yikes. Scorpions are scary...even if they have the sting of a wasp! <br /><br />Heather....probably have the skinks, which are forest dwellers. The wall lizards definitely prefer rock walls and outcroppings with a southern exposure. <br /><br />Keith....I think he's cute too. He's lived here so long, he's considered permanent now!<br /><br />Steve...thanks. They are quick moving. I would have liked to have gotten a few other poses!<br /><br />Adrienne....yes, they definitely are. The biologists and herpetologists are watching very carefully. In Indiana, they removed them because they already were having an affect on the indigenous species...but they think they are here to stay.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-38787559999765171222009-07-11T16:45:47.370-04:002009-07-11T16:45:47.370-04:00Cute little guy with interesting background histor...Cute little guy with interesting background history. :) Are biologists concerned about them competing with native lizards for resources?Adrienne Zwarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399915534602362046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-10567554689196531972009-07-11T16:04:06.406-04:002009-07-11T16:04:06.406-04:00Excellent Lizard shots Kelly, and a nice bit of hi...Excellent Lizard shots Kelly, and a nice bit of history as well.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777110280773085442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-79277320272353193352009-07-11T15:51:26.138-04:002009-07-11T15:51:26.138-04:00He can come live with me; I think he's great. ...He can come live with me; I think he's great. :)holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-55157325851197375032009-07-11T14:34:48.077-04:002009-07-11T14:34:48.077-04:00Most interesting.

It originally came over a few on a cargo ship a few hundred years ago and now there are about 300-400 living there.It is about 2 inches long, and their sting is about as potent as a wasp.Ken.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01795172926321030227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-81885271593020493142009-07-11T11:24:22.599-04:002009-07-11T11:24:22.599-04:00Now you've got me curious !
