US populations of lacertas

winterhill May 25, 2008 07:42 PM

I read a site the other day about a place in Topeka,Kansas USA that has both Western Green Lacertas and Wall Lacertas. I heard of a population in the Northeast(NYC???) of Tibeten Lacertas...I guess everyone is hush hush as some want to collect them as "feeders"...the Tibeten ones. The others its been common knowledge for sometime.Way back Audobon published the ruin and green lacerts in the New England area. Are there more? Does anyone have exact locations for any species? I plan to travel to Topeka for the Westerns...any other locals would be greatly appreciated.
