Hi Folks,
Just thought I'd share some photos I snapped today of some wild Podarcis sicula campestris in New York.

And it looks like this was in or around "The Nursery". We Podarcis sicula fans NEVER reveal the hotspots, as there are some lowlife scum out there trying to collect as many as they can catch to sell for feeders.

About 5 years ago, I went on a feild trip to see the Long Island Podarcis sicula campestr's, with some people and a friend named Ester whom I knew from a Gerbil mailing list. Ester are you the same Ester? I would like to catch two babies, but have not been successful. How does one catch them?
Also, one of the field guides worked at the museum does anyone know what studies were done of the lizards at the museaum?

Podarcis are easily caught with a noose. Just be sure to use a long stick, as not to spook them before noosing them.
Which museum are you referring to? The only person to have published research on the Long Island P. sicula population, other than Gossweiler's (1975) original account on the introduction, is Russell Burke of Hofstra University.
