What an awesome find!  The diversity of wildlife here in WA continues to amaze me. Great pics!  Just another reason to go get a macro lens.

The look he is giving you is the same look my friend had when he drew the rimrock tag it;s the smug look.

There are some great big jumping spiders out here to. Will try and get pic's and post soon.

Anybody on here ever find a Rubber Boa constricter. They are native to the northwest. They get about 18-20 inches long. They are super cool. It has been years since I have seen one.

Lizards are cool.  Those are great pics.

I had a lizard hanging out around my compost pile for a few weeks this spring.  Then he moved over to a log pile for a couple weeks.  He was getting his fill of ants and grubs it looked like.

Then last week I saw a lizard in my shop.  Its nice having lizards and snakes around to take care of ants and mice. :tup:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

We found a couple Rubber Boa's over the years. One in Steilacoom south of Western State Hospital and my brother found one up on Satus Pass hunting in Dry Creek.

Yeah I brought a backpack in from under my trailer early this spring and had one running around inside the trailer after he warmed up.

I find these guys in my yard in Bonney Lake all the time. When I was younger and living in Seatac my buddies and I would find them in the woods by the little league fields.

My best lizard story was a trip to Taneum camping and then we got back home and as I was unpacking a lizard ran out of one of the duffel bags  :chuckle: :chuckle: managed to relocate him to the garden but hoped he didn't suffer living on the wet side being an eastside liz and all

when i was a kid i used to catch those lizards all alot. i was big into reptiles. i had an iguana for about a year but it got sick and i had to put him down. he got about 3 feet long. i even had him trained to walk on a leash.  i think ive only caught 4 or 5 rubber boas. man those were cool!

I grew up in the olympia area, we would find the rubber boa's along the ditches on a hot day curled up getting sun. they are pretty slow, so they were easy to catch. i have not looked for them in years. I think the name of the lizard is a Skink.

Yes and apparently based on eye color it is of the Northern specie.
