Found this little guy in my driveway this morning.

At first I thought it was a Texas rat snake, but it didn't have cropped ears so I went ahead and kept it.

I have one of those lurking around my plants. I leave him be so he can take out any bugs that decide to get near him. Do you know what it is?

[Sleeper]

new tail regrowth? Looks like a cool critter.

If that's the Horned Lizard, the state reptile of Texas, then it's illegal to keep it as it's one notch above endangered.

I'm calling the police. I'm also going to inform them about how you cropped it's tail and the horns off it's face.

It's a kind of swift, locally called a Texas or Western fence lizard.

Texas Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus olivaceus) perhaps?

[Chas_svo]

It's a mountain boomer.

And whoever said Tx horned lizard - that's funny.

[Sleeper]

Its a mountain lion.

House cat?

I used to catch those bastards all the time when I was a kid.
