Title: Spring is in the air.
Post by: Magicman on April 10, 2011, 08:54:17 PM
Pat saw something this afternoon that neither of us had ever seen.  Two lizards really having a fight.  A lot of posturing and biting.  I guess trying to establish a pecking order or something.  Anyway it went on for over 30 minutes and a winner finally emerged.

They could really raise the skin up on the backs of their necks and look larger.  One is a brighter green than the other so you can see them switch positions many times.  This was neat to watch.

Are they Geckos? :D :D

Maybe it's just some reptile love? ;D

I can tell spring is in the air because I can't breath and my eyes are watering  ::)

We didn't have any lizards, but we did see this little guy. He's the first I've seen this year.

We call them Chameleons.  They will change colors from green to brown.

Ah, yes. I didn't know they were a US species. Learn something new every day. ;)
