Side-blotched lizards rely more on sight than smell when hunting their prey, finding mates, and getting other environmental cues.

Hi, I'm Earyn, and I'm a lizard scientist! Back in 2018, I created a game to teach people about lizards and increase the representation of Black women as herpetologists. #FindThatLizard is a Where's Waldo-esque game where there is a lizard camouflaged in its environment.

In my research for tonight’s #FindThatLizard I learned of the existence of toad headed lizards. They are both cute and terrifying. Adding to my list of lizards to see in the wild.

Species like the western fence lizard do pushups to avoid fighting. But higher aggression in this lizard could be tied to parasite load. Read the full blog & see the solution: earynmcgee.com/findthatlizar…

Can I tell yall a not so secret secret? I kinda want my pottery to support me traveling and getting new and exotic lizards for #FindThatLizard. I’d have to restructure my artistic process but technically I’ve been running a small business for years and I want to expand.

This could all very likely be a blessing in disguise but right now it’s a bit painful 🥺

Lizards with keeled scales are the easiest to lasso (unlike this western whiptail). These scales have a ridge down the middle that can protrude and create a hook for the lasso line to grab on to. Can you #FindThatLizard?!
