When I found my first one, it was half that size. I mistaken it for a twig. When I saw it moved, I finally realize it is a lizard. It was moving super slow.

Thanks for explaining the difference between hibernation and brumation.

I have learned so much from you Funky regarding these Alligator Lizards. I know I asked lots of questions but that is because I am pretty adamant about them.

I posted some other questions within this thread. If you get a chance, can you answer them too?

Thank You Funky!
