Whatta Tale!!!

Post by hellihooks »

I know...I know... another provacative title to get ya to look... but I can't resist the chance to make a bad pun... :roll:

This LA co SAL, in addittion to having an unusually long tail, was quite gravid, and very green, which is not that common.

Saw only lizards that day, including some other SAL's, but this one was the only noteworthy specimen...cyaaaaaa... jim

Damn, that's the longest one I've seen! (TWSS)

I wonder if that is actually close to normal, but we seldom see it because most large adults have had their tails broken off and regrown a few times.

Wow... never had a girl say that to me before... :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think, like sharptails, there are 2 varieties... long tails and short tails. not saying they're two Ssp or anything... just regional differences. The ST's seem to run bout 1 1/2 SVL, while the LT's can run 2-- 2 1/2 SVL. You get a LT with a SVL of 7 in and an intact tail... you got a BIG lizard.
Ryan... she ran around a little, but was so gravid she tired quickly, and was resting on that rock I set her on... jim

Well, you could take that two ways - more as in size OR more in terms of quantity ;-)
