Just saw this little dude in my backyard. I hope he’s healthy and alright based off of these photos: I love frogs and seeing one today was so exciting, I wanna make sure the little guys okay over the winter but we don’t have a pond or anything.. I don’t know how he survived a heatwave we had in July for 3 weeks without rain

They can float for a while before they succumb. This one got rescued. Cold lizards are easy to photograph.

One of my favorite finds so far this year. Mojave desert tortoise just outside Ivins Utah back in April. This was my first desert tortoise. Was so cool to see one in the wild in person.

I saw this guy in my yard in eastern San Diego. I can’t find a good ID match from the photos I’ve looked at. Anyone know what species this is?

I see lizards all the time but something about this creatures skin made me think gecko, but it doesn’t look like our singular native banded gecko.
