Life in the Vivarium

Here are some recent photos of action in the "desert"


Desert Spiny Lizard waking up in the morning. Note the circular tracks this guy made to bury himself. They always make these marks, so its fairly easy to find where thet are burried.

Just the "guys" hanging out for a morning warm-up. I don't think a Chuckwalla or the Collared Lizard is in this photo but all three Desert Iguanas and two of the three Desert Spiny Lizards are in this view.

Spring Happenings

I have a 1.2 group of young Desert Iguanas. I've been surprised at how aggressively they go after insects. Much more so than the Chuckwallas which seem to eat insects only in the fall.
The Desert Spiny Lizards have been a great addition this year. They are very colorful (I'll try to get a better photo) and have a lot of personality.
