 Lizard Mates

Snapped a picture of these two in my back yard and figured it would be nice to share. Both were about 10 inches in overall length.

Well it is breeding season right now. Hopefully you’ll see lots of little ones running around in a few months.

Is that one with the cut-off tail biting the other one?

Yes. Most lizards do this to hold on to a female while attempting to breed. Its not meant to cause damage, but it can. Its like when a male cat bites the back of a female cats neck during mating. It stimulates the female and lets her know his intentions.
