Well hello again two posts in one night aren't we lucky. I forgot to mention in my previous post that there be dragons here or lizards really at least three of them and we think a mom lizard too. We noticed them in August these tiny lizards which is great because we had a outdoor ant problem that we had been using pesticide to control , but since these little guys or girls have hatched we just let them handle it. They are now bigger and have moved onto bigger bugs but they still live in the flower beds and sun themselves on the porch. They seem to be doing well and hopefully someone will be able to get a picture soon they are just to skittish to get one and I walk like a T-Rex so they know when I am coming. Also we have lots of hummingbirds who like to visit our hibiscus plant and the crows enjoy playing on the lawn. We have a couple of black phoebes who hang out in the tree out front. So all in all I guess our yard is a variable wonderland for little critters. The backyard has a gopher in it and I keep hoping he will just go away without any human help but I don't know if he will. My husband and I sprayed down a paper wasp nest a couple weeks ago not because they were being overly aggressive or anyone got stung but because they were outside the window and we didn't want anyone or the dog to get stung so 60 wasps lost their lives. So anyway I guess that is all I have to type so good night.
Remember there is an animal in a shelter just waiting to be adopted and they are a life time commitment .
The lizards are, I believe, western fence lizards or a subspecies of them. You can see the wikipedia article on them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_fence_lizard. They are basically a type of tiny iguana. Elusive for photos though as they run away the minute you open the door.
