i actually did see a fence lizard but i didnt think to get a shot of it.

BTW, i did actually get bit by a baby rattler about a month and a half ago. i was holding him behind his head and my grip was too loose. he hooked around and got me with one fang at the tip of my middle finger. im not EVER holding a rattlesnake (atleast until im a 'real' herpetologist ).
