This was the big exciting find from my day #herping in Mojave National Preserve, my first chuckwalla! Wow they do live in the desert areas I'm used to hiking in, I've never actually seen one. After finding six other species of lizards in the same morning, I decided this would be my day to find a chuckwalla.
As I was driving through the Preserve, I spotted a low, basalt escarpment above a dry wash. Everything I'd read suggested that was perfect chuckwalla habitat.
I walked a quarter mile across the desert and then down to one end of the escarpment then all the way back up to the other and then on the way back down, I saw it! This handsome critter was surveying its domain from its perch about 15 feet up the cliff. Conveniently, it posed for a while before dipping out of sight.

Another "life lizard" from my day #herping near Kelso Dunes, Mojave National Preserve. Long nosed leopard lizard. It sat there letting me photograph it for a while, then got bored and disappeared into a hole.

A green anole pauses mid-climb, balanced on the edge of a kids scooter as sunlight catches its scales. A small moment of stillness in the middle of a busy day.

🌿 Meet the Antimena chameleon, a master of camouflage in the dry, spiny forests of southwest Madagascar! 🇲🇬✨ This striking male was spotted in a Baobab forest near Toliara. While males can reach up to 34 cm (13"), females are nearly half that size at 17 cm (6.7"). A true gem of Madagascar’s unique wildlife!
🦎 Furcifer antimena

I finally encountered some live Ambystoma gracile (northwestern salamander) yesterday! They were out in force around a local lake, now that the temperatures have stayed above freezing for several nights in a row. Beautiful animals.

A couple weeks ago I ran into this cute little brownsnake, _Storeria dekayi_, when out spidering!! Less than a foot long and quite slender (the first photo was taken with my lowest-magnification macro lens).
They are not rare, but I virtually never come across snakes in my wanderings and I don't think I've ever seen one of these before. I only even knew they existed because of lurking on /r/whatsthissnake! These small harmless creatures mostly eat slugs and snails.
What a special find. I treasure the encounter. (The snake, on the other hand, was mildly annoyed and moved away.)

CW: Snakes!
Shorter #BikeHerping ride tonight, probably under 10 miles. Found a baby gopher snake when I was almost back to town, then a block from home found a baby western diamondback rattlesnake in the street and then on my gate post found this cute little #gecko

#FatTuesday #Herping in the #Gamboa #Rainforest, #Panama. Lots of what I believe to be juvenile #Basilisk #lizards, and several species of #frogs for me to identify when I return home. Also spotted an American #Crocodile in the Chagres River near there on Sunday.

With all this California rain, hopefully this will be a good spring for #herping.
