As a tried and true Floridian, I can tell you that spotting lizards in areas where most people would not expect is typical of the great state.

Kristen Arnett can attest to this.

The Florida-based woman, spotted a lizard at a local 7-Eleven Monday and was informed by the cashier not to worry about him. And that his name is Marvin. The woman and the lizard became instant friends.

Turns out Marvin the lizard is a frequenter of this particular 7-Eleven. As anyone who encounters a coffee-loving lizard named Marvin would do, Arnett declared him a new friend.

Since this is the age of social media, the official 7-Eleven account spotted the original tweet and wanted to check up on the store. But loyal friend to lizards that she is, Arnett refused to tattle.

Luckily, 7-Eleven understood that snitches get stitches.

Marvin the 7-Eleven lizard gets to spend another day sniffing the coffee. Sounds a bit zany, but actually it's just another typical day in Florida.
