Southern California is THE HOTSPOT for Lizard Species

[@mcadoovicky6465]

i’m just an old senior lady that likes to work in her garden and I just recently for some reason started building habitats for my lizards. Well, not my lizards the lizards outside. I’ve been putting water out for lizards, scrolls, bunnies, etc. and then I just started taking stuff and building places for them to hide. Tonight I was out looking and I found a little tiny lizard. I swear it looked like a little tiny gecko. It was different than any other lizard around here. It was the cutest thing. It made me smile

Hi fellow lizard lady…. I have some lizards in the back yard that have gecko-like fingers. They are reproducing well. The babies are so tiny. I rescued a baby today who got stuck in my empty hot tub. I put a rough wood plank in it so he can crawl out in case he finds his way in there again.❤

Build it and they will come! I did the same in my gardens! With logs, branches and rocks, I built little habitats about 7 months ago. I keep redoing them as the lizards move in. I can now look out there on a sunny day and see about a dozen lizards basking, in all different sizes and stages of growth! I sure do love them! I’m in Florida and some are non-native species, but they seem to get along with the anoles.
