Update: These are madrean alligator lizards! I did not see the legs on the darker one.
Lizard vs snake under my Jeep tire. When I first saw this, I thought it was a pair of lizards mating. But no, it looks like a fight to the death. The lizard has the snake’s neck in its jaws. Gary poked them gently with a stick to free the snake, but the lizard ran into the bushes with its prize.

A reptile came to visit our room addition. It’s a good sized lizard. These are common in our area, and are desirable to have around as they eat insects. Still, I prefer them to live outdoors. Gary is skilled at reptile capture and relocation – that’s his hand holding the lizard. Our guest was moved to the far side of the garage where there are a lot of plants. Gary got it moved before any of the terriers could get it.
