As of most of you know, I live in Scottsdale. In my neighborhood, the ONLY reptiles that I see are Western Whiptails and Common House geckos. At my other house, I'd find Fence lizards (not sure if they were exactly Fence lizards but looked like it) and some other Common House geckos at my other house, and I've even found a Skink and a Burrowing Toad (I think that's what they're called..) in the ground. Other than that, that's ALL I found. When I went hiking about 3 years ago with my dad and my brother we say a Western Diamondback slithering into a bush. That's the only wild snake I've ever seen.. when I go to Payson I always look for amphibians or reptiles in my uncle's yard. All I find is Skinks, other lizards I have no clue what they are called, bull frogs, rarely any Whiptails, and that's about it. I can't catch any though.. they are too quick for me .. and I run FAST lol. Too many bushes there slowing me down though..

So does anyone know of any places I could find some snakes and OTHER lizards I don't see on a daily basis? I'm tired of chasing the ones I can't even catch
