The Sceloporus are out so lets start talking about them. I found a large male S. occidentalis at work the other day. He ran right into the break room. I wanted to take him home to add him to my project but figured I would take him outside and let him go. Anyone ells finding them to?

i caught four jeveniles im hoping to raise up and breed. they're doing great so far. eating and growing like crazy.

They're common year round on the central coast

I have two babies I hatched out last summer with minor skull defects (survivors of a C-section to remove eggs from a gravid fence lizard killed by one of my cats). They're subadult size now. I have them in with our sagebrush lizards and they've outstriped the sagebrush babies in terms of growth despite the fact that the sagebrushes are three months older and are almost as big as the adult sagebrushes. For some reason, they are much more skittish than the sagebrush lizards (even the wc adult pair). I'm thinking this may be inherent since rearing conditions for both them and the sagebrush have been identical.

I have found in some Corn Snakes that were not 100% when hatched and came out with defects that they tend to be a little more reserved around people as well. I tried what you mentioned a couple of years ago with a dieing female but all the eggs went bad. I don't think she was but maybe half term with them anyway.
