As a kid I never thought MN had any kind of lizards living up here. It gets down right frosty in the winters... But, I was wrong! These lil guys are found up here too. Usually they are grey in color though. Biggest one I've seen in person was about 8 or 9 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter. Generally around here they are about half that size -and super fast. They sure can move!
