yes....but how tempting to make a pet, eh? Any chance I would see one of these at Red Rocks or St. George Anya?

Re: yes....For me not really because I prefer to have a pet that loves me back and smiles at me every day :) I imagine for some people it is tempting, for kids especially.
This was actually the first time I have ever seen a horned lizard in the wild and not on tv or picture, so it was very exciting. I have never seen them in Red Rocks. The lizards you will see in RR are Side-Blotched, Western Fence and Whiptail. As for those more exotic looking ones, like Horned and Leopard you have much better chances to find them in remote areas of Lake Mead. It is because there are no tourists there that would pick them off the desert. I have seen some Zebra-Tailed ones even in a remote wash of Lake Mead NRA. Cheers.

Re: WowThank you. They do look very peculiar and you wouldn't believe how well they blend in with the rocks and sand.
Greetings, AJ.

From previousencounters, these lizards have a peculiar way of behaving around people. Do you notice how the lizard is becoming flat like a waffle or pancake??? That means he wants you to share breakfast with him! I'll have the wheat toast with the raspberry jam !!!
