Today I saw my first Desert Grasslands Whiptail for the year on our property. They are usually one of the last reptiles to come out in the spring. As soon as the Round-tailed Horned Lizards come out we will know that summer is truly here in the Chihuahuan Desert.

We had a nice four foot Sonoran Gopher Snake laying out across our sidewalk yesterday soaking up the sun. About three feet away from him an Eastern Fence Lizard was doing likewise. When I get done typing this I think I will do the same.
