#TextureTuesday

La semaine dernière, j'avais repéré, pour la première fois en 2026, en faisant "mon tour" 2 lézards se réchauffant au soleil sur la trogne de saule, "solarium" que je surveille depuis quelques années maintenant.
Hier, j'y suis retourné avec un zoom 50-200 mm micro 4/3 soit un maximum de 400 mm en équivalent #FullFrame mais nettement moins lourd pour mes articulations.
Un seul lézard et ce n'est que sur mon Mac que je me suis rendu compte de la présence d'une #tique sur celui-ci... #MaHantise

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.

#LizardReport #Lizard #MojaveDesert #herps

Based on californiaherps.com, I believe this is the Western side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana elegans.
Saw several of these in the rocks where I found the chuckwalla, Mojave National Preserve.

#LizardReport #Lizard #herps

I also saw a tiger whiptail, zebra tailed lizard and lots of desert iguanas. I don't feel bad about not getting good photos of any of these, because there are tame individuals of these species in my yard in Arizona 😆

Edit: looks like the whiptail is a Great Basin whiptail, Aspidoscelis tigris tigris according to CaliforniaHerps.com, as opposed to what Tucson Herpetological Society calls tiger whiptail, Aspidoscelis tigris. 🤔

This is the first time I've ever seen zebra-tails or desert iguanas outside of town, where I guess they must be a little more used to people. These ones would bolt full sprint 50 to 100 feet away from me. The ones in town are highly skittish, but you can generally get a little bit closer to them.

If you want to see pictures of these species, just look back at the hashtags in my profile.

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.

#LizardReport #lizard #herps

Today's #LizardReport is a little different because I am on a road trip. Camped out at Kelso Dunes and spent the morning herping in Mojave National Preserve.

7 species of lizard, 4 of them "life lizards"! Here's the first, Phrynosoma platyrhinos, a horned lizard. Look at that camo! They're sooo cute!

(It's intermission at a live theater performance, so I'll post more later or tomorrow in this thread.)

The tiger whiptail seems to live in the scrap lumber pile by the back door and doesn't seem to get up till sometime after noon. If I go out and whistle for it, it'll come up to be fed. It is amazingly comfortable sitting in my hand.

#LizardReport #Lizard #HerpReport

While I was sitting on the low wall feeding the light colored iguana, the other one heard me whistling, which I do all the time while feeding them to reinforce the connection, and came across the yard. I held a mealworm up at the edge of the wall and tried to get its attention, but it just kept nipping at my toes instead.

The spiny lizards, like Bill and Cutie, regularly nip at my fingers and toes if I run out of worms, but this is the first time an iguana has done it.

#LizardReport #Lizard #Iguana #HerpReport

The zebra tailed lizard is being very skittish this year. It'll take worms if I throw them a couple feet away but I haven't got it to eat out of my hand yet like last year. The short little video shows it waving it's distinctly zebra striped tail, indicating that it is feeling uncomfortable and sees me as a potential threat.

To a potential predator, the tail is a big flashy distraction that will break off easily if something were to bite it. When the lizards are comfortable, they will keep their tail down so that they blend into their surroundings better.

Given my experience with the komodo dragon, a big Gomi toy would be *squishy* even at room temperature.
