Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello, I'm usually hanging out in the boa forum, but I thought I'd share some pics of a couple lizards that my son and I caught while visiting my parents in southern Oregon. We caught 4 alligator lizards. 3 of them had perfect tails. The largest is over a foot long from head to tail. One of them has nice orange sides. We also caught a number of Western Fence Lizards (commonly called Blue-bellies). I'm keeping them in a 70 gallon terrarium, and readily eat crickets, and grasshoppers. We'll be letting them go the next time we visit, only to catch other neat things. It's so abundant, and fun. I feel like a kid again. Other things that we've caught there are blue tailed skinks, ringneck snakes, gopher snakes, and even a couple of adult California Kingsnakes. It was hard to let them go.
