Posted: 30 Mar 2007 Topic: COMMoN & SAND LIZARDS & THE WEATHER



I wonder what this weather and the  changes from one day  to the next  as  it has been lately  from warm almost sunny days back to sub zero freezing winter days instead of a normal gradualy warming up period , what affect  will it have on the breeding pattern on local lizard populations whos breeding cycles must be getting confused as to hibernate or stay awake with these suddern drastic tempeture changes of recent?. because it certainly is affecting me.    keith

 HI ALL with the year running out ,        It would be interesting to see who can have the last sighting of a snake or lizard  after October up to Dec this year.as many years ago I found a grass snake in a comatose almost frozen solid state state in thick hoar frost in late afternoon around the end of November in the good old days before all this global warming & we really did have cold winters.Keith
