Sceloporus Undulatus Hyacinthinus is our lizard who lives in the wood pile next to gutter on our patio. He/she, I am inept in telling the sex as we can not get very close to him, darts off and hides. He is a little shy.
But we see him at night, sometimes on the rug under the table or scooting along on the patio on occasion. Of late he likes to lie flat on one of the arms of the end table. There are four arms that arc out and support a 10 inch by 10 inch side table. He likes prone on one of those supporting arms waiting for dark. It is pretty close to his wood pile where he can fall back and hide, if necessary.
His breed are known for climbing along fences and wood piles (eh, that what ours does). He hibernates for this is year two of seeing him. He apparently is a slow grower and since we no longer have any Road Runners, he is somewhat protected. At least we are not going to harm him. He eats mosquito's so that is a good thing.
Do a search on Texas lizards and you will see him. We are in the extreme western edge of his range but he is known in the Carolinas up to Maine. He is a fat little fellow, feeding well I am sure on the ample mosquito population.
