Corralitas Drive: Lizard Drama

Photo: Diane Edwardson, October 26, 2011.  My dog alerted me to something stirring in a bucket in the yard.  I found a large 10-12" long (nose to tip of tail), very thin, Alligator Lizard.  (Click on photos to enlarge.) He was so thin, he may have been unable to escape the bucket for quite some time.  I wonder if he's the same lizard who left his suit in a plant earlier this year.  Photo: Diane
