TEXAS SPOTTED WHIPTAIL LIZARD PHOTO SHOOT
This was the first lizard I caught this trip, and I've already caught another species too!
So, you may have already realized that @papa-pepper doesn't exactly live his life the "normal" way. When we stopped in at a Dairy Queen to use the restroom and get some ice cream as we continued to drive south across Texas, it wasn't too long before I was walking the perimeter of the property, flipping broken slabs on concrete in search of interesting creatures.
Before too long, I was successful, and the @little-peppers and I were eagerly examining another amazing creature. One quote I made some time ago and like to live by is, "You never know what you're going to find, but you find more when you look." That's a very true statement.
Obviously I have a real interesting in the creatures of the world, and I like to share my passion for these creatures with others. I've made seventy some "Wild-Man's Wild Friends" videos on my YouTube channel that I'm still trying to sort through and put into a playlist, but I just recorded a new one featuring this incredible lizard which I plan on sharing soon.
I like to do things as I go, so I shot the video right away and took as many photos as I could before releasing it back into the pile of broken concrete slabs, as shown above. Creatures should remain in their local population whenever possible, and the more of them that are in the wild now, the more there should be later!
For now, it's a photo shoot featuring featuring this beautiful, and rapid-fast female Texas Spotted Whiptail Lizard. Just check out that blur in the photo above for an example of how fast these things can go! Enjoy the photos... I have a hard time choosing favorites, so there is a lot...

Cute fella....:)...
That’s a cool looking lizard!
Thanks! We think so too!
Great photos. Looks like a lizard likes to be photographed :)
It was tough, but I got the job done!
great photography!
loved it ........
Thanks! I loved taking them!
What a beauty, it didn't even look scared. Reminds me of the ground lizards we have in Jamaica. but those guys are scary
Very cool! I'd love to check one of those out some day!
It is said that if troubled they make a sound and back up lizards appear.
Nice! That'll be easy then, like trying to see who can get the most bee stings! Calling for backup is a sure way to get more!
Very good photo, this lizard looks very tame, how do you catch it.
The lizard in our place was very wild, if he saw a human then ran away.
It is very fast, but I found it under a rock.
