We had a visitor that stayed with us over the Thanksgiving weekend. 
One of Chad's students brought him in for a class pet. I'm not sure that he wants him back at the end of the year, but I told Chad, someone is going to take him home over the summer and it's not going to be him. :) I can handle a weekend or a week or so at the most, but I don't want him living here full time during the summer. 
Presley LOVED him. In fact Thanksgiving night as soon as Chad's family came over she asked them if they wanted to see the lizard and promptly took them up to our bedroom so they could see him. She didn't want to call him his name, Zach, his name was just Lizard. She did really good about not even asking to touch him. Even when Chad took his top of the cage off to feed him or get him water, she stayed back and just talked to him. She called him her "Little Buddy." She can tell you that he eats crickets (dried ones that look like fish food thankfully), lettuce, celery, carrots, or apples. Tonight before bed she was talking to him and she asked him if he had a good day and if he had taken a little rest (nap) today and she looked at me and said, "Mommy, I don't think he understands." :)
