    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Fun @ Del Valle (no. cal)

last weekend i went out to del valle armed with my digicam and a backpack full of bottles of ice water. thought id post some pictures.

the alligator lizard (look at that guys tail!!) was just basking in the sun when i came running down the hill and just happened to hop over him. right about mid jump i realized what i was hopping over and hit the brakes.

i miss spoke.... :rolleyes: You posted them on the 22'nd.

That alligator lizard has some really nice red on his flanks. I had a pet one kind of similar to him when i was a kid.

Again, nice pic!
 
Cool Gator lizard. Very nice colors.... this is one I caught in the Sierra's 2 weekends ago. Notice how long this ones tail is. Unfortunatly most Gator lizards I catch have a ton of ticks near their tympanic membrane's opening.

Click to expand...

they have very different coloration but they both have some nice LONG complete tails!!

my guess is that they are different sub species.
