    Found this guy on my miter saw today

    He was on the deck of the saw. I think he was attempting to cut a 2 x 4
    but I threw him out because he was violating basic safety rules...
    All of his toes and fingers were within 4 inches of the blade.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    Agree - Safety first!

    But wow - you must be quick with your hands to be able to grab him!

      He wasn't wearing safety glasses either! I find them in my shop occasionally and wouldn't remove them except for the fact they will starve to death there. I catch them and relocate them in my garden in the summer and in the glass patio room in colder weather. They keep the white flies and other bugs under control. My wife has gotten use to them there and has made friends with the little critters.

        He is so cute. Keep him around, when he grows up he can
        be Head of Security.

          He's already head of garage security.

            He's probably full grown as well.
            I see them around here often, but they are generally tailless. The cats like to play with them. They always go for the tail and that safety release, auto regrow tail mechanism comes in handy. Once anyway.

              My father had a couple of these little fellers for pets on his screened in patio that would come to him when he sat down! He fed them little bits of hamburger stuck on the end of a toothpick. They would climb up on the armrests of his rocking chair and wait to be fed. Great little pets to have in a screen porch and watch them catch flies and other bugs.

                I just kinda scooped him up. I think he was in awe of my shop. Or distracted by the mess.
                I'm surprised he hadn't turned bright green to blend in with my Hitachi saw.
                I love how they can change colors.
