It's gonna make you think

So I just got back from WDW a couple hours ago and survived the crowds at all 4 parks. My father-in-law posed a question for me- have you ever seen a lizard in the theme parks. Now I've never really paid attention, and being a passholder that only lives 40 minutes away, we go quite often. But as I looked around this weekend I realized he was right. Not once did I see a lizard. Not on the rocks at thunder mountain, not climbing the trees in animal kingdom. So next time you are in the parks-look around. You may be surprised.

Strange..I always see them at the resorts but never at the theme parks!

 

[HatboxGhost]

Yes, at HS early in the morning. Cute little guys.

 

[Hakunamatata]

Yes. Have seen quite a few. Most of the time they are in "B" mode however.

 

[KatMaria]

They are around, just tend to be shy little guys once there is a lot of people in an area.

Loooove those little guys and we totally have, all over Hollywood Studios. In fact, one crawled up my FIL's tshirt

And we saved this little guy from the pool!

Disco Gecko....LMAO

Yes, and it tried to get me change my car insurance.

Pop Century is crawling with them as are the rocks in Magic Kingdom by Cinderella's wishing well.

See this often I always look at the ground to make sure I don't crush any.

Oh no!! : (

FIL accidentally killed one! It got stuck in our sliding door. I may not get along with him all the time, but a mutual love and respect for animals is something we both share. He was devastated, felt so so bad.

i didnt step on him but it broke my heart

Did not see them at all until we went to Universal and they were all over the Jurassic Park section. We didnt see them anywhere else, only in that section of the park which was kind of funny in an ironic sort of way.

By twitching in a strobe light no less....you'll either have a seizure or switch insurance!

 

[HouCuseChickie]

From our last trip, our girls made me take a pic of one that was clearly run over by some kind of vehicle/cart...nothing like having tread marks

I'm guessing that I have, but it wouldn't register. Kind of like if you asked me, "Have you ever seen a fly in the parks?" KWIM?

The only lizard I specifically remember is the one who was hanging on (for dear life) to the edge inside my pool while the cat stood above him, waiting for him to resurface so she could kill him. Lizards aren't dumb. They know when they're in trouble.

 

[Bloopers]

Never seen them at Disney, surprisingly... see them everywhere else in Florida though, it seems! I'm terrified of bugs/lizards/animals so to not see any is a blessing.

 

[Bob Saget]

If you see one, stay calm. They can probably sense fear.

My DD hunts them on Tom Sawyer Island, and we used to see them in the graveyard by HM. One time, while my daughter was looking, we spotted an armadillo not too far from Dear Leota. Talk about a missed photo op!
