The spiney lizard looks like he's been smoking weed.

:rofl: lizards always look laid back..

he's probably been EATING weeds, not smoking them...

spiny lizards are fun, did you see any bigger ones? I've seen them up to about 8 inches.

We did see alot of those, some were a bit bigger. This was the only one we stopped long enough to catch because its a PITA and takes too much time. They were not quite as big as the blue spineys and crevice spineys you see in Texas, those get around 13-15 inches. They do eat bugs and not plants. Once they are caught they just sit there like that, weird.

Lol, probably. You can definately see the curiousness in the little suckers eyes, "why haven't I been killed yet?"

No, it's not part of the job, just something to keep me busy. It would have been my career of choice, but it's not much of a career. Many of the herpetologists I have met wound up teaching high school.
