Well i went to the Mojave desert for the secong time to get better pictures of the desert horned lizards. Last time i centered on the rock and not on the lizard. Well we went hiking and the first lizard caught and found by me was this beautiful girl zebra tail

And then i let it go.
We saw some sideblotched and whiptail then as we were leaving to go to another spot i said. "I bet you a $100 we wont find a horny toad here." Well i am $300 dollars in the hole! The one on the right is the girl, middle boy, and left boy.
Doesn't that one to the far right look familiar. Well here some more photos.
And a head shot if you still dont remember.
It was the same horned lizard we found there last time and it was the first out of the three this time. Here the old picture.
Very cool. Well here are some more pictures of the others.
That male was amazing in color. Look at the orange in his head.
After that we did leave and went to eat at our favorite spot. "The Soda Fountain." Then we left and went looking for Collareds. I found this beautiful Sideblotched and the picture of the collared didn't come out so we kept him over night.
Heres a picture of the horizon.
We left from there and started road cruising. After a while we saw this guy run across the road. The Coyotes near Death Valley have been fed by people some them come close to you.
It was very slow but when we got to death valley (three hours later) i spoted this.
These pictures turned out a little better but my camera was acting up at the time.
The next morning we were leaving camp and spotted two Roadrunners driking water on the road.
Then we stopped on some flats just to walk around because it was only 86 degrees. John spotted a Zebratail and I caught him. It was a beautiful male.
I set him on the ground to see if he would stay and he did.
After that we went back to where we had caught the Collared lizard. He tried getting away again so i had to go catch him.
Here are some pictures of him. To bad my camera was being annoying for the rest of the trip and the pictures are alittle washed out.
Once we let him go we went to a spot to look for Chucks and Spiny's. The first Chuck was found by John. But it was so far wedged in the crack we couldn't get it out. We were about to go but i had a feeling. One more crack. I looked it a spyed a chuck. Wait two no that a spiny. Both a young male chuck and a adult female Spiny were wedged in the same crack. They were amazing.
Also the female spiny looked like it had hard times it the past.
Well it was a great trip all in all but i can't wait to go back like always. Thank you John for taking us out again and thanks Dad for doing the driving again.
