After my experience with the high-end cockroach of Fort Lauderdale (see post, below), I found myself situated in a truly beautiful suite of rooms. It was absolutely lovey...spacious, with a deck and fuzzy bathrobes.
...And some lizards.
They were not quite as spectacular as the lizards that grace Tom Spinker's delightful web site.

However, they were, indeed, lizards, running around in the bottom of the closet.
After having encountered a cockroach who was larger than the combined closet-dwelling lizard community, I wondered if I would fare better in another hotel room. In the end, I decided to see if the lizards left the closet, since they weren't really causing a problem and they were much smaller than my insect visitors.
A few factors swayed my decision. The most important of these was that the animals appeared to be moving up the food chain, and I was not eager to encounter any mammals in my next hotel room.
I warned the nice girl at the desk about the lizards when I left. I felt bad, because she seemed really upset that I'd moved from bugs to lizards. They offered another room discount, which I turned down because they'd been really nice about the whole roach thing.
