Bob, are those "fencies" tame down and become handleable at all?
They seem hardwired to be skittish, but have learned that I am not going to hurt them and will stay still when I move things around in their habitats and add crickets and cricket food. I choose the early morning hours to look for eggs, other more major disturbances, as they are much less skittish when cool.

Oddly, all my fence lizards are way "tamer" than this one little pyro I got from a friend in a trade! That thing is the wildest snake I have ever had, panicking at the sight of me. Most all my other snakes come out from their hides when they want to eat, and show themselves to me, a tame captive behavior. But this wild one runs the other way!
