Lizzy

Desert Spiny Lizard

June 2020

Meet Lizzy, my new porch pet and the first Desert Spiny lizard I've ever known (or heard of). She's been around all summer so I think she lives here now.

I decided to think of her as female because the males are more colorful but also because her name's Lizzy, and Lizzy is a girl's name.

The lifespan of a Desert Spiny Lizard may be 5-8 years, so I could see a lot more of her in the years to come.
