Introduced established populations...

Upscale Nov 04, 2006 11:09 AM

Would like any info on any established wild populations you are aware of, especially but not limited to Ameiva. Please let me know about reproduction as it relates to how quickly those established populations might increase their range, etc. Any help would be appreciated!

I do not have much specific information but we have a couple of established populations here in Las Vegas Nevada. Common Mediterranean or House Geckos are found in the area and apparently reproducing. Southern Alligator Lizards are established in the landscaping at one of the larger hotel/casinos on the LV Strip. I forget which one. They should eventually be able to branch out from there. I have heard that Fire-belly Toads are established in a flood control channel behind Sam’s Town here on Boulder Highway. If this is the case I would expect them to be found in the Las Vegas Wash along with a few species of turtles that have established themselves there.
