I once had a crazy redneck neighbor when I lived in this trailer park in Alabama. (Hey, I saved $2500+ in a year AND profit off the sale so..) Anyway, he would frequently ask me when letting my tame 5 foot+ iguana bask in the natural sunlight, "Ye sunnin' yer crocodile?".
Me> "Yes, fool. Go have another beer."

Funny incident while doing same basking activity~
This same guy had the loudest yapping little dog ever, that would go out to do it's business EVERY morning at 4AM!! Needless to say, I heard this incessant barking every day through the paper thin walls. Well, one day while out basking same said 5'+ iguana, the little dog was out and came over to investigate. I tried to shoo him off without spooking my lizard but he wouldn't be deterred. He stepped a little too close and SWAT! got it's nose split by the iguana's tail. Oh well, I tried. Oddly enough it seems the barking was less frequent after that.
