My camera shoots fascistsThe little tiger whiptail showed up again today out by the back door. I'm constantly amazed that this lizard lets me pick it up as long as I feed it a little bit. Whiptails in the wild are crazy skittish and it's hard to get within 10 feet of one.
I always think they look like the dachshunds of the lizard world. Compared to Bill and the other spiny lizards (Sceloporus magister), this little guy has a very small, delicate mouth and eats in a way that is almost dainty. I find it utterly adorable.
