>>Thanks.. All I found last year were desert night lizards.

I'm jealous. I'd like to find some of those eventually...I guess I'm into most American Southwest herps, but the "little lizards" in particular.

>>I've check the guidelines for CA... The only thing I'm not too clear about is that a "permit" is needed for the C. switaki species. I'm assuming they're referring to a special permit and not a regular fishing license.

I'll have to recheck CA's regs, but you're pretty much limited to 2 of any species except for a select few which are favored as feeder lizards, so you're technically prohibited from doing anything like captive breeding which would take pressure off wild populations (since there's such a high demand for banded geckos?). I'm pretty sure switaki is off-limits unless you have a scientific permit or similar.
