New pet!
Caught this guy near my apartment earlier this week. It's an alligator lizard. Seems like it's about half a year old and it should grow to anywhere from 14" to 18".

Very cool, I just found a spider that lives outside my apartment thats about an inch in diameter. I've fondled with the idea of capturing it and possibly training it to slay my enemies.

Nah, it's an alligator lizard. Confirmed it with a lizard expert at Petco 
It's doing fine so far - still getting used to being held but it's not as paranoid as it was for first few days. My cat just discovered it yesterday and tried to grab it but I stopped her right in time

Huh. When I was a kid back in Florida, we used to gather those little ******* up from the playground during recess and then stick 'em in the girls desks before they got back to class.
Never occurred to me to keep one as a pet.
You're weird.
