Short Horned Lizard

Randy found this on one of his runs up the canyon. We think it's a "Short Horned Lizard." The boys loved it! It was kind of a dumb little thing, though. We kept it in a bowl, and never once did it try to escape. It let the boys carry it around all over the place. We even left it outside overnight and it didn't budge, it was still there in the bowl the next morning. We drove up to the canyon for tin-foil dinners & roasted marshmallows and let it go there. I'm always afraid that when we catch things that we'll kill them, so we try to let them go soon after we catch them. I have a bad track record for keeping pets alive.
