My camera shoots fascists<p>The zebra-tail lizard came back but wouldn't get closer than about 4 feet again. And the big spiny lizard on the wall yesterday is still skittish. But I did get a whiptail to take dried mealworms from my hand. The iguana ate out of my hand again. Pretty amazing to get a whiptail to take worms directly from me. They are usually super fast and super skittish. The iguana is very shy but I think wants to be friends, just isn't sure yet.</p><p>I've decided that if I were a cartoonist, I would draw animated cartoons of the lizards' behavior and personalities because they're all so different!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Lizards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lizards</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Herps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Herps</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Herpetology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Herpetology</span></a></p>

My camera shoots fascists<p>Just after I posted this, I looked outside and a big fat Desert Spiny lizard (Sceloporus genus, probably S. magister) was sitting on the wall. I've got it eating dried mealworms from about 4 feet away, but hasn't taken any from my hand yet. These seem to be the easiest ones to tame.</p><p>This is the same species as Bill and Harriet, and about the same size as Bill, but it's not him. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Lizard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lizard</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Herps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Herps</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Herpetology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Herpetology</span></a></p>
