Meet, Horny. He's a Texas Horned Lizard, or Phrynosoma
cornutum.
The State Lizard of Texas. A king in the slithering world. And a damned good buddy to have in your garden. Monsanto can keep it's herbicides, give me a bunch of Horned Toads.
We tend to get a bunch of those black-tan scaly lizards over here. They still eat roaches and stuff, so I'm cool with them. The kiddo calls all of them "Bob" (NO idea where she got that from....:innocent face:)
When we lived in Midland (1981-1987) we had them in our yard on a regular basis - cute little critters who bleed through their eyes as a defense mechanism.
"Great jumpin' horny toads!"
ReplyDeleteAin't he a horny beaut, Angel eyes?
ReplyDeleteUsed to be common around here. I haven't seen one in years... I miss the little guys.
ReplyDeleteWhen I can get one to move in, I treat him like royalty. I think he's got a couple of buddies out there smaller than him.
