My phycologist wrote a letter declaring how much I need her and she says if I need to do anything else she will be happy to help. There is no offical regestry for service animals so Pippin is officaly my service lizard. Today we were at a card shop and aparently one of the clerks was getting a little creeped out by Pippin and was going to have another clerk ask me to leave but my mum overheard her and said that Pippin is my service animal and that I have a letter from the phycologist and the girl said, "Never mind" to the guy.

Thank you. I'm looking into getting her a little vest now. I'd like it to be made out of mesh so she can still get her UVB. I've contacted one and even come across a site that tells how to make them yourself. They even tell how to make service animal tags. There is no offical service animal regestery so I guess Pippin really is an official service animal.

I came across a site (run my a lady with AS) that tells how to make vests yourself and even the tags. I can modify the pattern and make a "Service Lizard" vest. I might make two of them. One with a tag saying "Don't pet me, I'm working". Some people do reach out and touch her a patch might be helpful and another vest with a tag saying "Please ask to pet me, I'm friendly" depending on what kind of mood I am in. I think red or cobolt blue would be best.

17 inches from nose to tail tip. If she gets any bigger it will probably only be another inch or two. Females are smaller than males which basicaly get wider and taller as they grow up. She will never get as big as a moniter lizard or iguana.

Her full name is Pippin Roxanne.

Service lizard? That's a new one on me. I'm happy to hear about Pippin though, so congratulations PunkyKat.

I love lizards.

I wonder if they'd let me have a service firearm.

I have Red and Cracker; they're nice company and they keep me calm.
