Blunt nosed leopard lizard
This guy came out and moved towards me seemingly to greet me. Notice the muscular legs--they can leap as high as 2 feet in the air to catch prey. In spring, males have this salmon color.
Here's a fun shot. As I was walking past the dock at Eagles Lake, I saw an alligator slowly cruising through the water towards to dock. As I knew he often sunned himself there, I prepared myself to catch him lifting up. I was able to click off several shots. I think this is the best one. Actually, he was coming out to meet me and say hello. See him smile in anticipation!

C'était devant la porte de la maison, en février de cette année. C'est rare dans ma région une scène comme celle-ci si tôt dans la saison !

I came upon these two Green anoles on a log together, but in different colors (see below). A minute later the green one on the left was changing to brown (see below). Thought you all would enjoy seeing this.

Ce que les gens veulent dire par "les oiseaux sont des reptiles" est que les oiseaux sont plus proches des reptiles que d'un autre groupe. Ce qui est vrai dans un sens, mais quel genre de reptiles ? Ils seraient plus proches du crocodile. Selon certains sites de biologie...

Yellow Rat Snake - Pantherophis alleghaniensis
This was one of three yellow rat snakes we found during our trip through Florida.
Interestingly, we found two snakes on different days but in almost exactly the same spot at exactly the same time of day - just chilling in the middle of a sand-filled road watching the sun go down. I believe this was most likely because the spot was great for catching the last few rays of light (and heat) before the sun set for the day.

Primeval Nature - thanks for help with it's name :)
Starred agama (Stellagama stellio) is a monotypic genus of agamid lizard, also known as hardun or the roughtail rock agama. Starred agama can be found in Greece, Cyprus, western Asia and northern Egypt. It has also been introduced to Malta. Starred agama may attain a total length (including tail) of 35 cm (14 in) or slightly longer. Like many agamids, starred agama can change its color to express its mood. It basks on stone walls, rocks, and trees. It is usually found in rocky habitats, and is quite shy, being very ready to dive into cracks to hide from potential predators. Starred agamas are omnivorous, they feed on insects, earthworms, bird eggs and chicks, as well as small mice and lizards. They also eat leaves, flowers and buds. During colder months (from October to April) it hibernates.

Malutka jaszczureczka, którą wypatrzyłam na Rodos :)

Spotykana także na terenie Azji Mniejszej i Bliskiego Wschodu. Ma ciało mocnej budowy, spłaszczone, o długości do 40 cm. Ubarwienie jest indywidualną cechą każdego osobnika, może zmieniać się pod wpływem temperatury i nastroju zwierzęcia. Żyje zarówno na nizinach, jak i w górach, na dobrze nasłonecznionych terenach, w pobliżu wody. Prowadzi dzienny, lądowy tryb życia. Żyje w dużych koloniach pod przywództwem dominującego samca. W czasie chłodniejszych miesięcy (od października do kwietnia) hibernuje. Prowadzi terytorialny tryb życia, każde stado broni swego terytorium przed intruzami. Harduny są wszystkożerne, żywią się owadami, dżdżownicami, ptasimi jajami i pisklętami, a także małymi myszami i jaszczurkami. Zjadają także liście, kwiaty i pączki.
