[QUOTE=reptilelover1] and there are stick insects i do not kmow how they got there but they did [/QUOTE]

 

The eggs from captive ones could well have been thrown out with the droppings, they are very similar.  They can also reproduce in vast numbers so I would imagine that letting any "spares" loose on a privet hedge would be common occurrence.

Well it looks like the council backed down (or an agreement was reached) because the house is surrounded by a "slate" wall that looks great for lizards.  Gonna have to take another look when things get warmer.

Posted: 10 Jan 2007 Topic: Wall lizard distribution



Having spent a considerable part of my youth on Shoreham beach I can't believe I wasted it fishing for the smallest flatfish on Earth!  Used to do my herping on the Downs above Worthing (slow-worms, adders, grass snakes and common lizards) but I'm sure I can find an excuse to take a walk when the weather warms up.

Try E-bay.  The eggs are always on sale as "fish food."

Hi guys,

I had a quick look today as it's been fine and sunny for a couple of days.  I met the lady of the house as she came back from walking the dog and tried to convince her that the guy with the binoculars outside her house was just interested in her lizards......  "Oh, there's loads of them." she said.

Had a quick look and spotted 5 adults so things are looking good.

 

Andy.

Hi Steve,

I grabbed my camera on the way out, only for the battery to die after one poor shot over at the fort!!  But don't worry, I'll be back there soon for another go. 

BTW I saw at least a dozen adults at the fort and a juvenile.  Is there anything specifically that you want for your survey that I can do next time I go over there?

Andy
