Yup. A lizard.After 2 years of asking Santa for Christmas (and 2 years of asking Mom & Dad for his birthday), Santa finally thought he was old enough for the responsibility.
He's pretty laid back - he literally just basks under a heat lamp all day. He'll just hang out on your shoulder if you want. Ben eats crickets, small ones, that are kept in my refrigerator. That's right - next to my eggs and milk (guess you won't be asking me to bring you dinner). They are dead crickets in a can (Konnor wants you to know they stink). We introduced him to the dogs, who just kind of sniffed him out; didn't try to eat him. The weirdest thing, I think, about him is his ears. In the close up of his head (bottom right) - his "ears" are just holes on the side of his head. And he does hear us when we walk in to the room - he'll cock his little head up and look up at us.
Ben's a fun addition to the family.
