...We hand-caught him in the Mojave desert near the SW Utah/Nevada border just barely inside Nevada.
When we let him go, he took off on his hindlegs...boy, are they quick!

This little long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislizenii) was noosed just a few yards away from the little collared male. A couple of really cool southwestern finds...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm usually hanging around the rat snake forum, but I'll have to stop by and pay a visit here from time to time. Glad you liked the field pics!

What kind of noose did you use? I recently tried to capture (and release) some blue bellys with my son but had no luck. We got close but no success. whats your techniqe with noosing lizards?
thanks

We used a fishing pole with waxed dental floss, and if the floss started to lose its retention of the width of the noose hole, you just have to apply some chapstick to keep the noose knot from slipping.

We caught a lot of lizards that way. Good luck!
