Green anole on brown mode climbing up a tree, eyeing us with suspicion!

Oops! I didn’t get any good pictures today, so here is a Lizard from a couple of days ago!

A painted turtle hoists itself on top of a floating, wooden dock in a bog in the Pinelands. It has gorgeous red and yellow coloration on its shell. The water ripples in the bright, afternoon sun.

Oh, how I love turtles and am thrilled to see them after a long, cold, snowy winter. 🐢 ❤️ 🌞

Emerald Basilisk
(Basiliscus plumifrons)
La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Vibrant green, arboreal reptile commonly found in Central American rainforests. Grows up to 3 feet and features distinct head, back, and tail crests. #lizard #basilisk #plumedbasilisk #emeraldbasilisk #costarica🇨🇷 #herps #photography

One more of the Emerald Basilisk, well two males actually. I was distracted by the lower lizard (and the papaya) so I didn't see the other male up top, until he dispatched the lower lizard by running him off. #herps #lizards #basilisks #standoff #photography #papayainterference #costarica #lafortuna

Large male brown anole on a branch with foliage behind him, puffing out his red dewlap.

Lizard of the Day is looking for LOVE!
He hopes the Lady Lizards will notice his impressive dewlap!

Because bsky can always use more #herps...

Awww, mom. Do I hafta get out of the tub?

Two small gray lizards are staring at each other. One is up on an umbrella base, the other is on the patio concrete. They both are in sunlight.

A smallish gray lizard pauses as it moves across a concrete patio. It is looking to the left.

The wind is not a bother for low lying creatures like these two Western fence lizards. #herps

She's so silly. I love her. XD

American Alligator

Okay, so the baby camera definitely has a place in my kit, even though the eye-af hunt is quite frequent. This might be my favorite gator photo ever! I named him Steve. 😂

Gator eye closeup-Wish I could remove the reflection from the eyeball but since I can't, you can see the boardwalk I was on, my buddy standing and myself being the lump laying down on the boardwalk. 🐊

It's been ages since I painted a snake.

The head of a lizard. It is brown with black markings and has some white on the lower jaw. The lizard is standing on a reddish rock. It is looking to the left in the picture. Only the head is in focus.

Shadow of an Italian lizard perched before a green light in a dark room.

Peep the lizard shadow puppet

I think it may be the same one as the article's cover lizard, only paler (I can see green on top and a slight tint of orange on its underside).

One out of the three lizards pictured is probably an astronaut 🧑🏽‍🚀

he thinks you ate the last of his baked ziti

‘Who’d guess they’re the same species?’ What Italy’s wall lizards reveal about genetic diversity and why it matters Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchers

what i find fascinating, is that the coloration of the lizard on the cover photo is of a similar coloration and pattern as the Italian flag 🇮🇹🤌🏼🦎

American alligator

Okay, one more! Yesterday, the weather was foggy, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the light managed to shine through the fog. My local park, with its birds and gators, is quite like Jurassic Park, albeit a bit safer, haha.

Two brown lizards perched side by side on a tree trunk. They have a brown back and dark brown flanks with two rows of brown spots. The tails of both disappear into a gap in the wood.

They enjoyed today’s sunshine as much as I did

A small gray lizard is positioned on the rim of a large clay saucer filled with water. The image of the lizard is mirrored by the water in the saucer. The water looks green from vegetation behind.

I agree, little guy! It’s a good day to be lounging by the pool.
Late first year or early second year Western Fence lizard and its reflection. #herps

A baby roughskin newt sits in my hand, before being moved off the road into the forest. The newt is about 8cm long, burgundy on top and bright orange beneath, but so small its toes are translucent. The top half of its eye gleams gold like a dragon. This is a photo from several autumns ago.

A newt for those that need one.
