Every Tuesday, Peace Creek on the Prairie hosts “Nature Study Tuesday”. I thought I would take part today. Be sure to check back and see who links up with Peace Creek on the Prairie!
While we were enjoying our family time together last week, my youngest 2 saw this lizard and insisted I take pictures of it. We were standing about 10 feet above this lizard. I have honestly never seen a lizard this gold before. It looked beautiful sitting on the rock, in the sun waiting for water to splash on it. The lizard looked like it needed to cool off like we did!
So any suggestions on what kind or type of lizard this is? We are fixing to sit down and do a little research on this lizard. Hopefully we will be able to find out what kind it is and learn something new today!
You do have an interesting lizard there. I am not sure what kind it is either. Do you have a reptiles and amphibians field guide you can consult?
It looks like a skink, not a lizard. You may want to check a reptile guide though. Cute little guy!
