Yes, they are pretty awesome. If you didn’t see the video link at the end, you might enjoy it. My kids love watching them ‘square off.’ Such little dinos.

He is on swiss chard we love that stuff. I never see it in the grocery stores. We waited to long to plant it this year. Cute lizard nice picture they are so much fun to photograph. Where is a good place in Galveston for birding Boliver Flats?

Chard is amazing. It is chock full of ‘the other salt,’ the good salt: potassium. Our two plants are still cranking out 18-inch leaves after two years. It takes 5 of them just to feed my own face. 😀
Bolivar Flats is an excellent place for water birds! It all depends upon which side of the island you’re on or whether you will come via I-10, I-45, or HWY 288. Also San Luis Pass is reliable, and the flats on east Galveston near the ferry (is where we found the skimmers last year). You pretty much can’t go wrong, except this weekend is Featherfest — a/k/a/ lots of birders/photographers. Let me know how it goes!

He is as pretty as the chard he is perched upon. (and helpful too); we could be friends. 😉

What a cute little guy! Hopefully he doesn’t eat your chard…

He’s my skeeter eater and a regular resident down here on the Gulf Coast. It probably won’t surprise you that we love our snakes too. A balanced Eco system is key to a successful garden. Only the bugs (that he missed) eat the chard, and that’s okay too. Everyone’s gotta eat!

We need skeeter eaters…but, I think he would not like the cold winters. He would pack his tiny bags to head south as quickly as he could.

I am trying to accept the bugs…slugs, though, make me crazy!!

Sounds like you need a couple of ducks in your yard! They’ll take care of your slug and snail problem lickity-split.

That would be fun!! Do they eat the veggies too?

I don’t think so, not like chickens will. Ducks are dabblers, in that they sift through the algae and water plants for the snails and crustaceans that live in them. THAT’S what they eat. You ever heard the phrase ‘like a duck on a june bug?’ There is good reason it was coined that way.

I have never heard that, but I will have plenty of June bugs I could introduce the ducks too in a few months…
