oh I love lizzards and living in the desert there are so many different kinds. I have geckos all over my yard as well as whip tails, alligator, blue belly, desert Iguna (sp) chckwallas, Horned toads , and several other types I just love them. I catch them quite often by seeing them and sneaking up on them and the snatch for their head which usually gets them behind their shoulders.
I had a pair of Chukwallas for years in the house. Man could they give a very painfull bite when they had a mind to. I harnessed them in lizzard harnesses to keep their wild abilities in them and had them outside often to make sure they could survive and eventually released them. They lived in my yard for years and even let me handle them from time to time.
I have had many types of lizzards including a big green Iguanna that used to ride around on the dashboard of my car when we went somewhere. The one thing that I have found and don't know that this is true for everyone is that even if they are raised in captivity they never really get tame and can and do deliver a very nasty bite from time to time but I still love them.
I like snakes too but don't like the way they feed so wont own one but both of my kids have had boas and pythons after they moved out of my house lol.
I was the only female growing up that ran with the boys and could catch more snakes, scorpions, and lizzards then they could lol.
