I went out to go hunt some lizards in the bronx today. I stayed out for 3 hours and i caught 25 Italian Wall Lizard - Podarcis sicula campestris . here is a pic of all 25 of them, I thought I would share with you.

Wow Vincent, great herping!

And 200 bucks in my pocket for 3 hours of fun

I want one! They are very pretty.

Do I want to know what happens to them since they are an introduced species or should I not ask.

they breed like rats. they are all over certain area's of NYC and Long Island. It seems that where every they are released they take to, as long as there are places to hide and lots of direct sun light to bask. They love rubble piles of concret and/or wood.

If you want some let me know in a PM and we will talk price and shipping

Thanks for showing many fromwhat we saw only one Vinnie

That is so cool...

Sweet, while the idea of introduced species is terrible, when they're already there it's pretty cool. Do cats/ rats eat them? any predators?

Oh, did you use a 'lizard noose'? I had great success with one in Florida.

Yes I did , one of the big males I caught regurgitated a 4 inch Northen Brown snake (Storeria Dakayi )
