Reptiles - some with legs, some without
Lizards and Toads, what else can you say. We live in the desert where they thrive, and sometimes we can even get them to sit still long enough to get a picture.
It is the desert so naturally we have lizards, lots of lizards. Some have almost iridescent colors while others are well camouflaged. As with most of our critters you better shoot fast or they are gone.

Grumpy looking - but cute
Snakes are great. They are soft, useful, and when they do their job they keep the small rodents from overpopulating my yard.
We can have so many ground squirrels that you actually sink to your ankles in some spots as you walk around.
So I am always happy to have my little legless critters around, I just don't want to actually see them eating the rodents. Yup, I'm a woos.
