I live in rural northern Nevada. We have leopard lizards everywhere. I had one with 3 legs that lived behind my barn for years. It was a massive specimen, and I often found him sun-bathing close to the horse trough. It wasn't afraid of anything, and the animals left it be. Not even my most grumpy cat would bother it. Very cool creatures.

Not true. In my years iv owned many different reptiles and still do. There and many lizards that can go on their back, some will evem do it voluntarily. I had and ackie that used to occassionally sleep on in the weirdest of posistions including on his back sometimes. And then a uromastyx that just like to roll over

I'm not sure but I don't think leopard lizards make good pets. Highly aggressive (for their size), needs a lot of land to run around on, can be cannibalistic, and something kinda weird about how they hibernate. Adults start their long snooze in late summer (end of July/beginning of August) right around the same time the young hatch, and they're active right up until the first chill of autumn, I think. Some people think this hibernation pattern developed so the adults don't eat the young. I really like reptiles with leopard, zebra-tail, whip tail and collared lizards being some of my favorite north American reptiles with legs. I don't have the best memory so for truly accurate info, I suggest doing more research on the net or at your local library.

I live in reno nv, and I have a long nose leopard lizard. Caught it about 2 weeks ago. Don't know if its male or female though.

If I remember correctly, a healthy female long-nose leopard lizard should develop orange-ish splotches or patches along the sides between the front and rear legs during the mating season. Aside from that, the males and females are very similar in size and coloration. I also live in Reno. A good place to see leopard, whip tail, horned and fence (western fence I think) lizards is a place called "Swan lake." It's kinda at the end of Stead (a little past job corps. or the south end of the Stead airport). Swan lake can be seen from Lemon valley but if you're driving, the only access to the parking lot is from Military road. Make a right on Lear Blvd. Look for the stream/Creek/drainage canal and follow that to the pond. Last time I was there, I saw a couple of snakes. I think they were ribbon snakes but not sure, they slithered into some holes at the base of a small rock wall before I could get a good look at them. Don't touch the water. There are posted signs that read "treated, nonpotable waste water, affluent, avoid contact" by the Lear/Military road intersection, and it's that same canal that keeps Swan lake from drying up in the summer. Several acres of mostly sage brush (and a real thorny kind of shrub, crea-sote or something like that). The pond has a plastic walkway that goes right through cattails right to about the middle of the pond. Other animals I've seen out there are toads, scorpions, cicadas (June bugs), tree frogs, a big owl and a lot of bull snakes. I may have seen a coach whip snake out there too but it moved really fast into the sage before I could positively identify. It was thin, roughly 3 feet long, dark brown with a hint of olive drab in color (or maybe it was just how the light/shadows gave it that touch of a dull green hue). Best time and place to see bullsnakes is at dusk along the paved road, just outside the barbed wire fence, northern end of the park. They'll be right on the edge of the road trying to warm up for the night ahead I guess. Two more things reptile related. I've been told that California king snakes are easy to find all over Rattlesnake mountain from about 8:30 p.m. till around 2 or 3 a.m. from late spring until late summer. Second is all around Pyramid lake. There is a limited but fascinating variety of reptiles to be found there, especially the western shore. Go for a walk along the edge of the water after 10 in the morning and you should see these little blury things randomly streak off along the ground. Darting from a spot just a few feet in front of you to a rock 10-20 yards away, almost faster than the human eye can follow. This is the domain of the zebra tail lizard. Last time I was there, the "beach" had what seemed like at least 3 or 4 of those little four-legged reptilian lightening bolts per yard of shoreline.

Im from Reno NV ive caught thousands of these before they started building houses out off of vista. It used to be a good place to find collard lizards as well
