small beauty! the alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

Mexican Alligator Lizard.

Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata). A long slender lizard, in the brush it can be mistaken for a snake as it quickly runs in a S line and it’s small legs are obscured by the grass and leaves.

Typical. Northern Alligator Lizards, Elgaria coerulea, have been biting me for 2 decades. This one is a younger adult, apparently already through its first tail loss, and caused no pain. Larger inds. can draw light blood. Generally lethargic. The blue fuzz on its mouth is from the old packing blanket it was disturbed from under. Eats arthropods, sometimes smaller lizards/verts like you'd expect. Alligator lizards are consistently outnumbered by the more active and agile fence lizards in my yard, but have maintained a consistent littoral presence of a least several inds. in the general area at a time for as long as I remember. I have however witnessed and photographed at least a couple of occasions of these #squamates climbing to the top of shrubbery to sun. #lizardsofinstagram #anguidae #anguimorpha #alligatorlizard #alligator #socal #bernie2020 #diapsid #eattherich (at Oceanside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aZhSMg-r1/?igshid=xqe4pj2j220h

Sunny days are garden days! Got to plant these darlings in the ground! I also got to meet my garden guardian (every witch’s garden has one) for the season. A handsome footling alligator lizard 😍. #borage #dragontongue #dragontonguebeans #dragonhead #moldavianbalm #balm #moly #circe #greenwitchcraft #witchesofinstagram #traditionalwitchcraft #boyswithplants #alligatorlizard #familiarspirits #familiars #nightshade #nightshades #malewitchesofinstagram #malewitches #selfsufficient #herbalism #herbaltea #teagarden https://www.instagram.com/p/BvITAzInMJ7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b7bgx7a1cjb9
