Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have been researching lizards in the far south west area of Uvalde Texas, interestingly with all the ant piles and hiking, I have yet to see a horned lizard anywhere in the wilderness this year. Anyone seen any Reticulate Collard Lizards in Uvalde. Anyone found Texas Banded Geckos in Uvalde?

Ben around highway 481 and Nueces River and 1022 off the 90HWY in very west Uvalde County.....

I have found some geckos around Laredo but none around Uvalde. Collards I have seen at Seminole Canyon, and horned lizards almost everywhere but in small colonies. Sorry I haven't explored Uvalde much but did see some pretty big indigos there.

Thanks for responding to me. Do you often go after lizards more than snakes, perhaps you could hook-up with me and my colleague Randy. It is interesting that Banded Geckos are supposed to be found there By all the literature and range maps), but I have yet to have found one, I am an avid lizard type person and it seemns as thought the dry weather has affected the lizard population, or maybe I am just missing it. Randy and I are especially covering the South West area of Uvalde County as we are under permit from Parks & Wildlife to study the eastern most range of reticulatus. There have been reports of them just over the border in Zavala County as well, we are trying to establish their most northern and eastern range. While the areas I mentioned look to be top notch terrain when scouting this out a week or so ago, I have not been out there, but hope to get out tomarrow. If your interested in hooking up some time let me know and I'll give you further info on contacting me. I live in Medina COunty in Castroville just east of Hondo Texas off the 90 Hwy.......Cheers!!!
