Dillan DiGiovanni loves that this guy has a puppy-like pet lizard. And hopes he doesn’t lose a hand petting him.

When I saw this story, it was a good day for a laugh. And so I clicked. And then I watched.
I have to admit, it’s pretty damn awesome. I’ll admit I was more than a little nervous when I saw him reach his hand out to pet it. I wanted to scream, “don’t do it!”
Cold-blooded creatures CAN make really good friends. I domesticated a red-earned slider turtle last year, so it’s not crazy to me that this guy’s pet lizard actually acts more like a dog than a ferocious dilophosaurus, ready to spew blinding venom and eat him alive.
“Get the stick, stupid. The stick!”
Poor Nedry.
That doesn’t seem to be this guy’s fate.
Don’t you just love how the thing nods its head when he asks it a question?
It’s either incredibly awesome or incredibly freaky. Maybe a little bit of both! Who cares?!
Happy man, happy lizard.

Dillan is on twitter and currently has no pets. Unless you don’t count the stuffed variety…
I have to tell ya, the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture is that those paving bricks are exactly what I need and then my second thought was that this guy has to so something reset the bricks. Maybe because I’ve just done some work at my daughters house that the bricks came to mind.
That being said, NFW that I would have one of those creatures but who am I to say. But then I watched the video and damn, he’s cool.
