Picking apricots

I was picking apricots yesterday and almost stepped on this guy while he was out hunting. They are one of my favorite lizards. They have a semi-prehensile tail and are arboreal. Occasionally I will see them hunting in the shrubs above the ground level.

Good call. They used to be in the genus Gerrhonotus when I studied them in school. This is E. multicarinata multicarinatus - The California alligator lizard - which is just one of the subspecies of the Southern Alligator lizard. :thumbup:
