lizards are easy. what impressed me was he got it to hang out while he used a freaking dremel.. and changed heads on it.... i mean... that lizard wasnt worried about him at all lol

I have no words. You were carving with an electric tool next to a wild lizard and the animal stayed calm. I guess I am not the only one that found this carving relaxing.

you literally caught a wild lizard and used it as a reference while you carved it.......... my mind is blown! Amazing talent and art

You have a beautiful and gentleness soul. The lizards was not scared of you. And the Little fence lizard. Very calm laying on your hand. As you carved the likeness. On your walking stick. Gorgeous carving. The lizard and snake look real. You have a blessing for carving from the Lord. You have a Blessed day.

This is beautiful and I love the side quest for the fence swift! I can't believe he just chilled with you modeling! Not just a master craftsman but a lizard whisperer too!
