First Front Range lizard of the year. Prairie lizard (Sceloporus consobrinus) enjoying some sunshine two days after heavy snowfall at Walker Ranch open space park near Boulder. #naturephotography #LizardsOfMastodon #herpetology #Colorado #naturalist

The kid asked for a design of Jerry holding a blueberry, and while I was looking for a photo for that I found another good yawn pic. Now I need to decide which of these four designs to actually turn into t-shirts for me and the kid.

I reckon it's time to refresh and extend my personal collection of lizard couture. I've knocked together a couple of new designs using some more recent photos of Jerry.

When Jerry is out of his enclosure pretty much the only thing that will stop him constantly trying to wander off to find a nook and/or cranny to hide in is his fleece guinea pig bed. He will, sometimes, just hang out in there, and he may even accept some chin scritches while he's doing so.

An overdue return to #LizardPosting: I spotted this adorable baby water dragon on my way to get lunch a short while ago.

Gently evicting a tiny lizard from our rental house. They were very chill about it.

I spotted lizards in the garden during a break in the rain so I got my Proper Camera and Long Lens out and did a photo shoot session with the 3-legged water skink, who was a very obliging model.

Its tail continues to regrow, but seems to be coming in with a bit of a kink at the transition. In lizards that can drop and regrow their tail the regrown tails always do look different, often having different colouration and lacking pattern, and they are usually shorter and stubbier than the original.

It seems like most of the adult water skinks that I see have a regrown tail. Being a medium sized lizard in a world full of birds and cats can be tough.

This little skink turned up in our dining room this evening, so I scooped them up and released them outside. I'm fairly sure this is a Weasel Skink (Saproscinus mustelinus), and I'm also fairly sure I've had to do exactly the same thing with a skink of the same species that appeared in the same room before.
