Some of the first eggs of the year seem to have hatched. I am seeing some hatchlings running about. This little dude was hanging out at the door sill, so I grabbed the camera just to record the little bugger while he’s still too inexperienced to run away from me.
It’s hard to get context, but these were taken very close. I am holding the camera just a couple of inches away. The body is as wide as a pinky fingernail and length, body to tail, is probably about an inch. Still very small.
For reference, the blue doorjamb is three inches wide.
Here are a few more. Who knows if I’ll see this one for long. They grow quickly, and a lot of them end up toys for cats, meals for racoons or skunks, or just killed by the larger lizards who already hold the territory.
