Curly tails


Our yard has sooooo many curly tails!!!!! Some live underneath the front porch, some underneath the big rocks, some even underneath the basketball hoop!!!! Since I looove catching lizards I obliviously catch curly tails, but the adult curly tails are much bigger than regular adult lizards. So that means they have a bigger and harder bite so I have to be careful. I love catching the baby curly tails because they are so cute!!! The only bad news is that they are hard to catch and eat green anoles.(green anoles are rare green lizards which can change colors) Here are some pictures of some of the lizards I have caught.

 These are the 4 baby curly tails I have now.

       This is a medium size lizard compared to a baby curly tail.
                      These are 2 regular baby lizards

These are the 2 baby lizards compared to the 2 baby curly tails.
                                     
                   This is the baby lizard on top of 2 other curly tails.

 This is there tunnel underneath our sidewalk.
This is a baby curly tail I found when I lifted up a rock.

 This is my biggest one compared to my hand.
If you look closely you can see that she has very sharp claws, which she has to have to be able to climb.
Curly tails are very smart. I will be holding them and they will play dead, and when I put them down they run away.
