Hey Barbara!! Hugs to your clan from me please!!!!! I wish you could see pics of Alf out in the sun!!! I'll try to get some,but I don't let her down much,our yard has lote of spiders and other nasty bugs,wouldn't want her to get bitten or eat something she shouldn't. She turns real orange and black in the sunshine.In Fevreuary when I took her to see Timmy's class,I stopped ot see a friend of ours that works at the local auto parts store and he was facinated with her so I aksed him if he wanted to see something that would really impress him. Of course he said yes,so I said"Walk with me to the sunlight" His eyes almost bulged out of his head,do you see that he asked in awe(apparently). She started to darken up in his hands. He automatically wanted to know if she was getting mad or if he should worry,I laughed and explained that she was just soaking up sunlight and always turns darker in the sun. I'll look and see if I have a basking pic that shows some color.
