From April 8 thru April 13, 2004 I vacationed in Las Vegas, Nevada. The weather was in the 70's and many reptiles were just coming out of their winter resting period. We found eight different types of lizards: chuckwallas, night lizards, zebra-tails, desert spiny lizards, side blotched lizards, horned lizards and a desert iguana. Two snakes were also found on this trip. Most lizards were captured using the "noose" method, which involves slipping a lasso made of string over the reptile's head and pulling. This method of capture does not harm the animal. All animals were photographed and released at their point of capture. This section of the website contains digital photographs taken by Ken Gerard.
