The lizard has been getting a bit more active again recently. He may have decided that winter is ending and it's time to stop brumating. I'll try feeding him a proper meal this weekend, I think.

(The plot is from the temperature sensors I set up inside his enclosure. The "temperature-basking" line is from an infrared thermometer pointing at the middle of his basking rock directly below the heat lamp, and the dips indicate that a relatively cool lizard has moved onto the rock to bask. I use the number of dips per day as a proxy for activity levels).

Refresh of Jerry's enclosure with some new plants. The two new Dianellas at the back are a bit too short to see from the front right now, but I'm loving the new Nephrolepis cordifolia fern.

I’ve become kind of obsessed with the lizards I’ve discovered living in a dirt bank near my work, and today I finally got a (half) decent photo of one!

Happy World Lizard Day to those who celebrate.

Jerry is currently brumating so here's an old photo from his 1st birthday. He'll be 3 years old in December.

A bit later while having roaming time he paused to make use of my hand warmth.

I'm getting judgemental looks for having watered (close to) the lizard again.

Came home to find Jerry out and about for the first time in at least 5 days. He spent almost a week under the rock at the cool end of his enclosure until, according to the temperature sensors, coming out to do some basking about 3 pm this afternoon.

It's hard to maintain your dignity when the hooman is balancing blueberries on your head.

My blue tongue may be pretty big for a lizard but he's still a small animal, so it is slightly startling when I hear him sneeze, from the far side of the room, while he's hiding under his rock, in an otherwise quiet and dark house.

Unrelated pic for interest.

Spotted a gravid lesser earless lizard at the Volcanoes Day Use Area. Fearless thing.

Pleasantly surprised to find the long boi out and about when I got home.

He seems to be in good shape, and was OK with being handled for a few minutes.

Sur la terrasse il y a aussi des (tarentes de Maurétanie en l'occurrence). Ils sont assez discrets et sortent le soir ... malheureusement pas assez habiles pour éviter le .

C'est la deuxième fois que je sauve celui-là. Il a perdu sa queue lors d'une précédente confrontation. Aura-t-elle le temps de repousser ?

First time I've seen Jerry for a while, but I do know from the temperature sensors that he's been briefly emerging from brumation every few days to have a drink and a bask.

"If I stay very still maybe they won't see me."

Jerry was apparently quite active while we were all out today and got "caught" out in the open when we came home. He responded by freezing in this position while I looked straight at him, talked to him, opened his enclosure and put some food in his bowl.

Oh, he's finally moved. That dip in the basking spot temperature readings means that a cold lizard has moved under the infrared temperature sensor that I set up.
