This is the blue lizard I went to The Dana Nature Reserve to see, but didn't!!
This one was sunning himself high above The Treasury in Petra, which took over an hour to hike up to, not the best place to try and get a shot of him as there is a sheer and very long drop just behind him and to the side of me!!
More common then is generally imagined,our only native reptile is a real sun worshipper.
On bright days, from Spring through to late Autumn, watch out for them basking in any likely sun trap.
(Crotophytus collaris). A female from Briscoe County, Texas. Females develop red banding during the breeding season.
so many lizards running around, fast little things, in the end I just sat on a rock and snapped them as they passed by. They were on average 6-8 inches long.

Shot at Bok Tower Gardens on the Pine Ridge Trail. I saw several of these lizards along the path. Mostly on wood benches and pine trees. These lizards are native only to limited parts of Florida so it was nice to spot so many of them.
