The front door on our house isn't sealed right; in fact, it has an 1/2" gap at the widest part. Night before last when we came home after dark and were going to look after our tree frog collection, I spied a large tarantula behind the glass. He was quite comfy there. Today my boyfriend found another tarantula in a seldom-used part of the house. He was on the windowsill, and very comfy as well. And just before that, an alligator lizard was hanging out on one of our sword's hilt! It was difficult catching him to release outside. He scrambled down, ran behind the door, then under the blankets of our bed, then into the dark and cluttered closet where my boyfriend finally cornered him in one of my shoes. What an exciting day!

Sadly, no, there aren't any pics. My boyfriend broke my old camera, and the battery isn't working right on my "new" one. The frogs are Pacific Tree Frogs, wild caught from a swamp at an RV resort by Idyllwild, and are mostly gold and green phase. The two tarantulas looked to be of differing species, but arachnids are not our forte, so we're not sure what they were.
