Miguel gets some

Well, I don't blog much... but well... this is worth bloggin' about. Most of you know that I was destined to be a herpetologist at age 5 (my family knows). And then, I ran into other things: high school, girls, college, rock music, and pediatrics. Throughout all this time, I have been fascinated by snakes, lizards, frogs, alligators, and turtles. Weird..you say.

So my briar patch has been San Diego. I walk to my car daily and send lizards scurrying each morning. I love it. But then I met Miguel...the bad ass lizard. The man... The cheese... El Jefe.

Miguel and I exchange pleasantries daily near the mailbox. He is large, long, and different than the other lizards around the house. He is a Southern Alligator Lizard....the others are Fenceswifts (mere punks). Miguel is like a snake and nearly 16 inches long.

Three days ago, I returned for lunch from work and noticed a 2-tailed something running down the driveway. But it was simply Miguel and some other lizard like Miguel. I was afraid for Miguel, but their legs ran together and their hips churned together. Weird.

Little did I know that they were in love, or at least after Miguel had grasped her head in his mouth, did I know that they were "doing it" as you people say.

I have included a photo of Miguel and Penelope (as I call her) for your viewing pleasure. This sexual encounter lasted for 36 hours. And this is much longer than the Viagra commercials recommend.
