Entry 11 – October 17, 2012
I did some research on reptiles today. It was helpful to familiarize myself again with the species. There wasn't much that I didn't generally know. Although, it seems I can't have a day without something strange happening. I did an image search online for "black reptile", but only got pictures of snakes (and wallets). Either I'm not searching hard enough or there is the slight possibility that even the internet has no idea what creature I'm encountering. I don't want to jump to drastic conclusions, at least not yet. That doesn't mean I'm already imagining a scenario where no one knows what this reptile is and I'm the first one to discover it. I still have no idea what it is. I just have a better idea of what it could be. I felt a bit intimidated by all this research that I didn't go up into my tree-house today. When I went out to take the trash, the expected thing happened. The creature jumped to the closest tree and just watched me, I guess. I can't think of any reason why. Maybe I should ask it. That would definitely clear some things up. Joking aside, I need to think of a way to get a better look at this creature. I don't feel confident about climbing any trees. If only I knew where this thing was during the day. Maybe somewhere where there's plenty of sun. I might have to do some trekking around tomorrow. It is pretty convenient living in the last house on our side of the road. I can do some hiking through the woods without having to worry about neighbors' privacy. At least towards the left side of our backyard. I guess I better look for some boots and such for tomorrow.
