Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.


And, in Spring, it applies to lizards, too. I present "Scar" and "Slim" vying for the unseen hand (er, claw) of a fair maiden (well, lizardette).


In the top corner, weighing in at something less than a quarter of a pound, we have the veteran of many battles, the fierce, the fearsome..... SCAR! And in the bottom corner a new challenger, fresh in from parts unknown, the quick, the dashing..... SLIM!

RIGHT CLICK AND VIEW IMAGE FOR FULL EFFECT WHERE AVAILABLE


Scar sizes up the competition....


And Slim gives him a look of steely determination!


So Scar shows his stuff!


But this time it was Scar who fell off the wall, into the pine straw below. Round one: Slim!


But where a woman (scaly or not) is involved, who can bring themselves to surrender easily?
Soon Scar had flanked Slim and circled back from above!



Although, despite his tenacity, he seemed to be getting the worst of it.
As referee, I stepped in and very gently broke them up.


But as soon as I backed off... right back at it.


Scar perhaps reflects on the high price of love...


There can be only one!









I came back later in the afternoon. Only Slim was there, sunning himself on the wall.

I like to think, perhaps foolishly, that Slim won... but Scar ran away with the girl.

I love it! A lizard battle biggrin

We've got hundreds of them all over our back yard. I'm always finding lizard tails on the patio.

The outside cat doesn't eat the tails skull

Great photos and storyline.

I work for a non profit that provides pro bono legal services to political and social activists. It's pretty cool. We get a wide variety of issues and I get to fight with various government agencies and municipalities.

Heh... you know, when it comes to Voodoo Mind Control Spells to get my play done, I would probably actually know how to do them. (Probably some kind of Crown of Success and Boss Fix combo would do the trick.) Eh, I'm not up for doing a spell on it though -- I am too busy.
