Wall Lizards

Are there any other populations of European wall Lizards "Podarcis muralis" other than Vancouver Island, BC and in Ohio (somewhere). Also Jeff, have you been out to beaver lake ponds this year? The Bullfrog tadpoles are now little frogs. Very easy to catch and take pics, lots of garters too.

Yeah...

But I don't know if they're the European wall lizards Kyle. I think they are the chinese ones (name escapes me right now).

Yeah I caught a HUGE bullfrog at Beaver a couple weeks ago. It was the size of a football man!! They'll be hibernating pretty soon though. The tadpoles will be around all winter though.

Jeff, did you got to the ponds by the nuture place? Caught one there that was 9"!!!!!! the noise those guys make is insane. Sounds like a demon or somthing. Also what is the size of a BIG adult red-legged, caught one a week ago that was 4 1/4" SVL. thought it was pretty big.

Red-leggeds can get pretty big too man. I've seen them over 5", approaching 6!!! Way prettier than a bullfrog too!

The bullfrogs are quite noisy when you catch them eh?? the squawk and yelp the whole time. Ha ha, pretty funny.

I know that there are populations of Podarcis muralis, Podarcis sicula and Lacerta viridis in the USA. Don't know exactly where. If there are also populations in Canada...I don't know.

In Malta (which is situated just south of Sicily), we have got a species of wall lizard but it's neither P. muralis, nor P. sicula (I can't find the latin name. sorry). If you want to get more information about the Maltese wall lizard, check out <a href="http://www.mepa.org.mt/Environment/ecoseek/Details.asp?ID=5" target="_blank">Maltese Wall Lizard</a>
