I guess using it as a hammock. He plopped out onto the livingroom floor, and I was considering letting him stay in the house ( after the Texas rains, some belly-dragging roaches have been invading), but let him out as lizards can sometimes dehydrate, despite fairly clean john water. I think we know each other as he didn't mind my opening a window screen so he could jump out. Great design for his skin, like digital camo.
