The Real Lounge Lizards

[Disneyphile]

Well, I now know where the term "leaping lizards" comes from.

I bought them a little rock bridge for basking, and put it in the tank last night, and I wish I had grabbed the camcorder a little bit later on.....

We also set a shallow dish of water to one side of it to allow them to drink and soak a bit if they wanted.

With that, they decided that the rock bridge was now a diving platform. I'm not joking, when I say that they kept jumping off the bridge, into the water, than back out, and climbing up to do it again. They each repeated this about 5 or 6 times. I was laughing my ass off.

Then, we removed the water a little bit later, but they decided to still leap off the bridge - this time straight across at the glass. They jumped across, landing flat against the glass, sliding down while looking out. They each repeated this about 5 times as well, before finally tiring out a bit and just lounging atop the rock.

And, this morning, they did the same thing, except directed themselves to the side of the tank where one of our cats was perched on the table watching them. Norbert kept jumping at the kitty's face, brave as ever.

I never thought dragons could be so much fun.
