I have always had a special fondness for sceloporus species. What I have in my neck of the woods is the Western fence lizard. Not a worthless lizard at all...in places abundant with fence lizards there is a very low level of Lyme disease, as ticks feed on lizards during their nymph stage and are rid of the Lyme disease bacterium by an enzyme in the lizards' guts.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.
