On a lighter note, getting away from the majority of the doom and gloom economy and poor quality of life posts...
I was just curious as to how widespread these little guys are getting across the Island. I've heard about scattered sightings in Bayshore,
Valley Stream, Westbury and Oceanside.
In fact, at my last house in Oceanside, during the summer it looked like
S. Florida in my yard, they were everywhere, I loved it.
They seem to be pretty hearty, as I've seen them in my yard through early December, on mild days. I've also been told they eat many of the insects that normally invade your home -ants, silverfish, spiders etc...
So how many of you have these cool little creatures roaming your yard?
I too, have never seen lizards on LI. Plenty of toads (Fowlers' Toad) some snakes (garter and DeKay's) but never any lizards.
And, yes, they're great insect eaters. I wouldn't mind having a few where I live now. We have lots of roaches and lizards would eat them up.
