Alligator Lizard Habitat Where two habitats meet (in this case woods and an open field) is often an ideal place to find reptiles. This area is particularly good for alligator lizards.

Pacific Gopher Snake | This is the third different subspecies of gopher snake I've found this year. This one was under a stump, where it was damp. The snake looked like it was going to shed in the next day or so. 
Rodent Wrecker | These snakes can get very large, in some cases up to 7 feet. They have pointed heads and strong neck muscles to enable them to burrow in search of their favorite prey - pocket gophers. Click here to see another pic 
Southern Alligator Lizard | Alligator lizards have semi-prehensile tails, which help them to climb. These lizards are named because of their alligator-like appearance. They eat any animal, vertebrate or invertebrate, they can overpower.
