Re: My BEST September ever. (pic overload >120 shots)
Wow! You got some great stuff here! I would love to check out Mexico some time but am not brave enough...working alongside the Border Patrol for the last 5+ years makes me too aware of the issues down there. Hopefully you all didn't run into any problems.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments so far. I'm really not that great with Whiptail ID's, so the Red-backed could be something else.... Not sure if they change coloration during breeding season like some of the other lizards do here.
