Godzilla's Cousin Attacks Eel Valley!

Based on his body language and cool demeanor, I could tell this big guy meant business. We were lucky to have even found him since it's clearly evident, with that posture and pure swagger, he's the king of our backyard. And he let us know it too...between the scowls and free flowing testerone, we easily knew who was boss.

Leepin' Lizards!

While we were admiring his strength and stamina, we suddenly noticed his little body perk up. He had saw something...Something that had entered his domain...a threat? He decided to investigate...

Leepin' Lizards!

The threat came closer and they met eye to eye. It was like a repeat of Bad Day at Blackrock, minus the leather holsters and sidearm revolvers. He stopped to take it all in...

Leepin' Lizards!

Not sure of the potential danger, he edged closer...

Leepin' Lizards!

The creature was friendly enough, so he decided to let it live...for now...

Leepin' Lizards!

With much terror, the fuzzy scaredy cat ambled off into the flowerbed, thankful to still be alive. Afterall, that was Godzilla's cousin, and it could have been worse...much, much worse.

Size Matters

A little perspective on the actual size of this little critter (C-dub's grubby fingers for reference). We didn't want to inspire any sort of panic in the community over his slimy dangerousness.

Swaggering Salamanders, Batman! That was a scary one!

Okay, so it's corny! I loved the pics and was very surprised at the actual size of the little monster. We have some of those around here that are a different color and often end up 2 dimensional if I find them in the house. (the yard is okay, but I don't cherish them underfoot when I'm staggering through the house at 3 am trying to find a pacifier!)

Ha! I was actually going to make it a love story, where the two meet from different worlds, yada, yada, but I wanted to show his "fierce" side, lol! He's the smallest one we've found so far and he was actually tolerable to me (I hate squirmy, slimy things).

I was ready to ask about the size--appreciate the perspective picture--and now maybe I won't have nightmares tonight! ;) Seriously, he's a cool, looking fellow.

That is the cutest story! He does look rather buff.

How fast did Uncle R run when he heard about it?

My little guy loved these photos and so do I!
