Hmm. Too big. What's that lizard?!

>>941023362
i don't know. they are everywhere.

>>941023544
Anoles do push-ups too.

Well it takes about 40 for a full meal.

I once shot a giant Gila Monster while in the Mojave.
Fuck that lizard. It should have stayed out of my desert if it wanted to live.

>>941024764
that's not cool

A little small:

>>941024829
Don't judge me by some 2025 standard, asshole.
I killed this fucking thing back before your grandma knew your grandpa.
That is what men DID back then.
Come back from killing gooks.
Kill lizards instead of shooting your asshole boss in the face.
Judgy little fucker.
Was that lizard a friend of yours??
Fuck YOU.

very regal and dazzling. if i miss one thing from before i moved, it's lizards

>>941023544
Is this a mating sign? He's looking for some strange?

>>941024764
Niggertits you'd better be lying.

>>941025264
Or you'll do what?
Write a stern letter to your councilperson?
kek

>>941025702
Ima clap your buttcheeks

>>941023544
Southwestern-Southern bro, that's a Collared Lizard.

>>941025113
some think it is used to signal their strength. usually when they do that i back away from them so they think they are stronger than me and successfully dominated me.

>>941025993
It's done to signal aggression. Here, they'll do it to birds and then they'll attack the birds off my wall.

>>941023251
This is an earless lizard.
>>941023544
This is a collared lizard.

Source; I study Southwestern amphibians and reptiles.

>>941024996
That's not judging you by a 2025 standard.
It was wrong when you did it, you're just willingly ignorant to the reasons why NOW, when back then your ignorance was excusable.

>>941025993
>and successfully dominated me.
Never, and I mean NEVER allow a reptile to think they "dominated" you.
Fuck them. They need to know their place.
I never miss an opportunity to remind lizards and assorted reptiles that they are indeed inferior to me and that given just a whim, I might just murder them for no other reason than to watch the light dim from their reptilian eyes.
They respect that.
They walk away muttering to themselves "best not to fuck with THAT hombre..."
Yeah, keep walking, lizard breath.

>>941026114
Owning niggers wasn't wrong in 1840 motherfucker.
But I'll bet you'd like to judge my great-great-great grandpappy tho.

>>941024764
>My desert
It was there before we crossed Beringia. It's the only REAL Native American. Eat shit retard.

>>941026019
the ones i posted here are too small. they would easily be eaten by a bird.

>>941026165
Because bringing niggers here worked out so well for us right?

>>941026165
>Wasn't wrong in 1840
Yes it was, you absolute mong.
The way Romans did slavery was about 100x more moral than the way America did it. British, Spanish, and American slavery were particularly harsh, lifetime occasions, with no chance for freedom or reprisal for mistreatment.
There's thousands of writings from the time of people acknowledging that it was a horrible, immoral practice, and that those who engaged in it happily were evil.
This isn't hard to understand, you're just willingly ignorant, like I said before.

>>941026079
cool. i have been wondering for ears what types of lizards i am seeing.

>>941026233
I'm not talking about Gila monsters. I'm talking about that exact species, the Collared Lizard, specifically Crotaphytus Collaris.
That one you posted, here
>>941023544
Looks like a western/southern species, like the nebrius which occurs in Southern Arizona.

>>941026419
Lol you're def from Arizona I think, that's a Yarrow's Spiny

>>941026296
kek
Go stop the "horrible practice" as it is done in today's Africa, you fucking mong little bitch.
Sometimes you respawn as a decent white person living in a decent white country, and sometimes you respawn as a piece of shit nothing who gets tossed on a ship and hauled to South Carolina to pick cotton until you fucking die.
That is just how it works.
Cry some more, little bitch.

>>941026282
Lincoln tried to send them all back to Liberia, but nooooooooo - the "do gooders" of that era said "we can all live in peace!!!"
Um. No. We cannot.

>>941026572
>Muh dick
>Muh balls
Bro go flex elsewhere you're not smart enough to talk to me.

>>941026203
It is still my desert.
If the Gila Monster didn't want to be victimized by the Big Bad American Man, then it should have GROWN SOME HANDS and developed firearms itself, but, sadly, it did not, thus it was no match for my Ruger Mark IV .22
This is just the way the cookie crumbles.

>>941026631

I have forgotten more about history than you will ever know.
Go "flex" for your gay friends on the homo board.
Tell them about the mean Man you met on /b/ and how angree you are that he impugned your fungible manhood.

>>941026562
I love those lil guys, Colorado River Toad. They occur pretty exclusively along the last legs of the Colorado River, which runs through the intermediate Sonoran Desert region of Arizona, the toads are spotted in Tucson and Phoenix.

>>941026724
>I forgot my history
I can tell

>>941026745
Have you ever read "The Teachings of Don Juan, a Yaqui Way of Knowledge"?

this is one of my favorites that i took of the little lizards. he was guarding his little pile of coati or ringtail poo.

Hay guise, is this a skink? Birds don't eat this one.

>>941026940
Everyone loves me.

My dads house has a bunch of these in the backyard, theyre cool little dudes that eat bugs and veggies from the garden.
How do i make them into my friends?

>>941026772
I didn't read it, but I was supposed to lol.

>>941026862
These photos are gold man. Makes me think of the wildlife photos I see in textbooks and in cutesy press releases and news articles.
Could try submitting some to the local news every once in a while, another way to get the name out if you're a business owner. Not sure the specifics of your area but my areas local news takes random stories from locals, and photos of interesting things.

>>941027107
They don't really domesticate easy but they do become tame really fast if you feed them.
They'll come back for more later, just get some feeder bugs from an exotic pet store. if you're Tucson region avoid Ever Evolving Exotics, owners a massive trash monkey cunt.

>>941027172
You mentioned the Sonoran Desert, which is what made me think of it.
The first half of that book is worth reading, and if you love the desert as I do, you will find it very satisfying to think of going to Mexico to be an apprentice to a Toltec Sorcerer.
Seriously, take a moment to read some of it - it will change your life in ways I cannot describe here effectively.

>>941027300
Oh i dont want to keep them as pets, i just want them to hang out when im out in the yard. They really enjoy our backyard because theres no pets to chase them here unlike all of the other neighbors. Theyre cool to watch run around in the veggie patches and sun bathe on the patio.

>>941027054
These little dudes spit red poison out fo their eyes. They're called "Horny Toads" in some places but they're a type of Horned Lizard.
For anyone wondering, the little triceratops neck is soft and pokey.

>>941027333
Sounds good bro thanks for the recommendation.
You should try looking at Peterson's Field Guides, they're a good foray into the world of identification. They're a bit older, so some names and classifications are wrong now, but if you just look them up you'll find out a lot. If you know about animals, you can pick out a person's location based on a photo of a fence lizard.

>>941027429
I would, but tbh, I get really bored with classifying animals.
>be me
>have friend who has discovered dozens of new species of fish
>he tries to teach me how to identify them
>get bored after Blue Tang and Clown Puffer
Still like to look at animals, tho. Just don't have much of a desire to "know" precisely what they are.

>>941027501
kek
It's actually a "Clown Trigger".
See? I really am shit about classifying fish, despite training.

>>941027054
cute little dino dude

>>941027501
It's better if you have ADHD, because then you can diversify what you know about and it'll be less boring.
I think for you, it would be good for you to know what you're looking at so you know what it eats, and potentially you'd be able to tell what it wants. I know climate change is a tired topic on this board because like 1/3 of retards on here don't believe in it, but if you pay attention to the species you see, it becomes obvious when animals which are more sensitive to rapid changes in climate are being affected. The Sonoran Desert Tortoise is an indicator species, it's super hardy, it can survive for a very long time, yet we are seeing die-offs which appear to be unrelated to predation.
Take care of your wildlife is all I'm saying.

The lizard is a good lizard, but it doesn't rate all that high because of the fact that it's a lizard. Lizard's are lizard's. They are just one of those things that exist, but aren't really that interesting in and of themselves.

Anoles>>lizards

>>941025113
They do it when mating
They do it when being territorial
They do in other situations as well
Pretty much all the lizards do it, and only the lizards truly know what it means.

There are lizards that are commonly seen around where I live. I see them daily and my cat likes chasing them.
