I enjoyed your series very much. I love lizards. I am curious did the loser walk away?



Thanks, Noelle. Glad you liked them. Yes the looser got free a first time and they started another fight. He still lost, but he managed to get away again and, having learned the lesson, walked away, maybe with a slight headache.

Loved these Socrate. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd go to the state fair and I'd get a "chameleon" for a buck. They never seemed to survive my care, or lack thereof, for very long.





Thanks Robert. Glad you like them.

Socrate,
The last shot is technically perfect, and the most interesting to me at the same time. A true keeper.

Thank you, mirek. That is a neat looking lizard you posted. I remember seeing some eally big "lizards" when I was in Australia.

Nice sequence of shots. I have anoles all around my house in Melbourne, FL, and have seen then fight on several occasions. I even saw a larger one kill a smaller one and eat him. Most of my anoles are brownish with only an occasional vivid green one. I've been planning to do a series on my "house dragons" so you've inspired me now. I hope I can get a good fight sequence like yours.

Great Sumo series! I guess best two out of three declares winner. Nice 'on your belly' shots by you!

Thanks for your comments. I didn't know lizards eat lizards.
I hope you'll get some really nice shots of their fights, so you can poste them here.

Hi Karl appreciate your comments. The most confortable belly shots I've taken, right on my new painted porch, rather than on the dirt, ravel, mud, and so on.

Nice series!

I'm guessing with the onset of spring this is a breeding related territory dispute.

Usually these guys are pretty mellow.

Lizards! You have fighting Lizards - how cool is that. So what, you just hang out on your porch, sip vino and wait for the next round? Great set, Socrate. I've never seen anything like this - life must be good

Hi Maggie, Thanks. Yup, I have Fighting Lizards on my porch. I hope it is not illigal.
I was actually drinking coffee, since it was about 7:30 in the morning, and I start drinking vino only after 8:00 a.m.
