We have flower boxes and potted plants outside our apartment and after months of not watering them and the hot sun beating down on them, they were fried to a crisp. Since we are leaving soon, Pedro thought we should replace them.
There´s a vivero (plant shop) a couple blocks from our apartment, so last week Pedro went and bought two potted plants and asked the man to come to our place on Saturday to replant the boxes. While he was planting, we went to the store. When we came back, he had finished and left, but he left a mess so Pedro was sweeping up the dirt and dust when he spotted something moving. It was a lizard! A tiny lizard. We took some pictures, then went inside to make breakfast.
After ten minutes or so I suddenly saw something move out of the corner of my eye. It was another lizard--this one only had 3 legs! It scared me so much. By replanting the boxes, the man must have disturbed an entire lizard colony! I returned both to the flower box using a plastic cup. We tried picking them up, but one just broke off part of his tail and ran away! I hope they are happy again.
