    I saw the zebra tail lizard once when I first got back, but not since and I've seen a couple of baby whiptails. I've seen the tame one only once. It remembered the whistling and came right up and ate out of my hand like it did in the spring.

    So far only one of the iguanas out of four is around. Don, the big one, hasn't been seen. They may have had to disperse a bit to find food or something because the monsoon rains have barely hit here and nothing is really growing yet. No rain equals no plants equals no bugs equals no food.

    I haven't seen the western diamondback rattlesnake or the gopher snake since I got back. When I go out at night with a spotlight, there are a fair number of small rodents so I'm hoping one of the snakes comes back to eat them.

    I did see a night snake once and the Mediterranean house geckos have obviously had a very good breeding season because there are little baby ones everywhere.

    And last night one of the big Sonoran Desert toads came out after I turned the sprinkler on.

    Well, that's the basics for now. I will definitely keep you all apprised of the reptile soap opera around here.

    Bill came back up on the porch, probably because he heard me talking and assumed that I was talking to him and not my phone. Now he's sitting on the threshold above the steps surveying his domain.

    I'm such a fucking simp. I'm going to get up and go get him some more mealworms 😆
