I just saw a hole in my lawn dug by a lizard this morning 07/26/2015. In a few minutes when I went back by, she had filled the hole with dirt. I know what these look like as used to watch them dig, lay and cover when I had a garden. Since I hire a lawn person to mow, I staked this area off to protect the eggs. My area has many snakes that just about eradicated my lizards and all of my frogs. I now know how to get rid of the snakes to protect my lizards and 2 frogs. Best I can remember, it takes 60 days for these to hatch. Can't wait to see the little boogers emerge.

Happy to have a family of these spiny lizards in our front yard in Central Texas.

We call the wood skinks....have them all over our oak trees and on the side of our brick home in North Central Texas. Seen some as close to a foot long.

We have lived in harmony w/ these critters in the Post Oak region of north Texas for several years now. They love to snuggle in the cushions on our porch furniture. They range in size from 6" to 1" babies.

Don't get rid of them....they are very beneficial!

How can I get rid of them in my patio?

my husband says this is what they call a "Rusty Joe", is this correct?

These scaled lizards are very fast, and I have seen them reach a length of about 10 inches long. They are highly intelligent and make great pets.

i found my lizzard with his 2 back feet chopped off.. my dad said its probably from a lawn mower or a weed eater but no 1 knows for sure :(

I live in MS and these things are taking over! I have about 10 that I know of in my front and back yard. They sometimes have shiny blue bellies. I just found out what thay are called. How did they get from TX to MS?
