Title: Baby Eastern Fencies
Post by: muddy_sneakers on November 15, 2006, 10:06:59 AM
Took these the other day for size reference purposes. The adults can reach up to 7 inches snout to tail end, but the babies are tiny as all get out. Guess it's a good thing they're mostly arboreal! :)

Very friendly little boogers. My favorite Eastern US lizard.

They really are so sweet! 

Thanks for sharing them with us, Chris!

Do they get stepped on as you walk through their area?

They actually stay kind on tree trunks and fence posts most of the time. These little ones have been hanging out in the cracks of the posts when it's too cold to bask.

I've never stepped on one myself, but I'm sure it's happened!  ^-^

Is there a western fence lizard? I took a shot of a lizard almost exactly like that near Sedona Arizona while I was on vacation.

My goodness!  Looks like part of the wood of the fence!

Guess we'll have to hear from Christina about this one!
