<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2767095, member: 19463&quot;]Luke was a Brown anole but is here shown with skin not completely separated after a shed so I call this &#039;The Easter Lizard&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]637433[/ATTACH] </p><p>We no longer have any reptiles but still have a few Hissing Cockroaches from five we bought about nine years ago. Not having anyone left to eat them has allowed continued generations although individuals only live a few months.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One we had a House Gecko named George who escaped from his terrarium and lived as a free agent for over six months.&nbsp; We saw him on the ceiling in several different rooms but all of a sudden he disappeared which probably meant he found his way outside where he would freeze. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now we have a Black Rat Snake who makes regular appearances in the garage and a Black Racer who hangs around the opposite corner of the house.&nbsp; We have not had a mouse in the house for years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatic content: The best lizard coins IMO are those showing the statue by Praxiteles know as Apollo Sauroktonos (lizard slayer).&nbsp; The boy is trying to grab the lizard from the tree trunk.&nbsp; The original statue is lost but the Louvre has a Roman period copy from similar date as my Geta from Nicopolis.&nbsp;&nbsp; Their copy would sell for more than mine. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> These are not rare coins but examples with more clear lizards are not easy to find. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]637446[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
