Forgot to mention when I got up Thurs and went to light the kerosene stove there were two lizards copulating on the wall, the one lizard on top of the other making slow undulating movements - making love in a vertical position; pale greenish bodies. I try not to disturb them, but they disentangle and he plops to the floor leaving a wet stain from his body.-
