The photos are good enough for me to be sure I've not seen that one in 36 years as a resident of Oregon. Nice markings! Thanks!

Yeah, my little guy is a nasty little bugger! Hissed and tried to bite my Mom when she checked on him/her. I have it in a cage with a male fence lizard of the same size. Been living together since last spring.

One of the coolest US lizards IMO, my fav is the Texas Alligator liz, easy to take care of, very safe to handle and very hardy.

Do you own one, Todd? I'm keeping several alli lizards right now and they're pretty awesome. They climb often and use their tails to hang. They can also stand up on their hind legs and look around/grab high branches.
