Chuckwalla in my wheel
Went out to run some errands and found a chuckwalla lizard hanging out under my car. After my wife took a picture I got in and started the engine. Figured he'd run away when the engine started. But, we never saw him run. My wife suggested I look under the hood. Nope, not on the engine tray. As I was about to drive off she said, "What about in the wheel?" I got out and checked... peek a boo. In the shadows of the wheel he was pretty much invisible.

Cool little buggers. Iguana family... no way can they be as mean as something like a tokay gecko.

It's likely they spread salmonella - I know iguanas do.
