i am terrified of lizards!

[lemongirl65]

let me begin by saying the following:

1. my fear is irrational

2. i know "they are more afraid of me..."

i am sailing on the glory 4/24/2004 with stops in belize, cozumel and progresso.

i am planning on doing goffs caye snorkeling in belize

paradise beach in cozumel

beach in progresso

my question is...are there lizards running around on the beach?, do you see those "jesus" lizards?(my own personal nightmare)

[smceown]

I've been to Goff's Caye, no lizards there I don't think - it is a tiny island in the middle of the ocean.

 

I've never seen lizards (iguanas?) running aroung the beach in Cozumel either

[SUSANITA]

I've only seen one lizard on all the cruises I've been on, and that was in the bushes at the hotel in Tampa. Don't worry, you most likely won't encounter any (I hope).

The only time I saw a lizard (or iguana) on any of my cruises was when we were touring the Mayan ruins at Tulum one ran across the path right in front of me. I let out the loudest scream that they had to stop the tour so they could make sure I was ok. It was not one of my better moments.

I did see many big lizards in the gardens at Chankanaab Park in Cozumel. They stay pretty motionless...don't bother you one bit.

 

until my Majesty of the Seas cruise!

it sounds like if i stay on the beach my chances of meeting mr. lizard are reduced.

i was planning on going to chankanaab park until i saw this picture....

Yup...that looks like to same little guy I saw...lol...you will see them along the trails at Chankanaab...guaranteed...but honestly...they don't bother you...if it wasn't for my two kids looking for them and pointing them out...I probably would have never noticed them.

 

until my Majesty of the Seas cruise!

We had heard there were lots along the trails in Chankanaab, and we wandered around in there for a long time looking for them and didn't see a single one! Some kid said not to go to the left up ahead because there were lots of snakes. Of course my daughter turned to the left and we didn;t see those either!

[derf5585]

There is little to fear from lizards as long as you follow the same precautions as for avoiding snakebite

You will definately see lizards in Cozumel, especially if you go to the "other side" of the Island. We rented a jeep last April and they were everywhere, especially around Coconuts Bar. At first I thought I was seeing things, maybe too much "to-Kill-ya" and they are very fast too. We will be there in May and I hope to try and take videos of them, I think they are neat, although I can relate to your fears, I am terrified of spiders and would not want to see them running around. Stay close to town and you shouldnt have a problem.

[glrounds]

Derf,

 

the lewrockwell link was fantastic. As an employer I've printed it out and am going to post it tomorrow morning in a very conspicuous place.

 

Thanks,

 

Gary

We did see one right at the pier in Belize. He certainly wasn't bothered by all the tourists but he didn't bother them either. Just sat there motionless for quite some time.

[bethee]

I can deal with the iguanas but even a picture of a snake sends me off screaming.
