Great pic! I used to catch those in the summer (and I still do). I can tame them to stay on my thumb. One even got so attached to me it wouldn't get of me and if I put it down, then I got up to eat lunch, then came back, it would still be there! Another I had on my shoulder and I walked all around with it, and it did'nt try to jump off. You just have to smile, and establish trust, say 'stay' over and over again in a soothing tone, and gently rub their back. One time I saved one from death. I was playing hide and seek with my lizard, and he ran into a hole. But the hole (it was in a tree) was too small, and he got his head stuck, and I guess a spider was in that hole, and a bad one, because (it took us super long to get his head unstuck) when we got him out, his face was bleeding and covered in very sticky webs. And then we gave him a bath with no soap, and pretty soon his scabs hardened and dried, but when I looked at his eye I was sad because there was a scar across it and cobwebs stuck on it. So he was half blind but we got most of it off. We saved him!!!
