Found this guy chilling in a cedar tree. I did some research and looks like a collared lizard to me but wanted to see what y’all thought. Pic was taken about an hour east of Lubbock.

Cool lil guy/girl.

i believe so

Looks like the Eastern-Collared Lizard in this article.

Can’t answer your question but, those are great pics

Looks like one. The ones we had in Foard county were a greenish blue color. Yours is more yellow.

We always called them mountain boomers,had them chase us when we were kids.

This and more than likely a female. We get the reticulate collared ones down south. Pretty neat you got that close.

Yes, and they bite like the dickens.

This one was very calm. Prob bc I was shining a light in its face.

Yep, I see them every once in a while at my place not far from you.

Definitely a collared lizard. Growing up we called them Mountain Boomers, but they are actually called Collared Lizards.

We had those in Kent county. He lived in some rocks in camp. One of the kids left his T Rex plastic dinosaur out by the firepit. Lizard attacked it biting its plastic neck and head then started humping it harder than a sailor on shore leave. Funny as heck.

I’d pay to see that haha

Awesome pics !, not sure on lizard though

I saw one on my place. It’s coloring was the brightest turquoise I have ever seen, so much so it did not look real. He was fast too.

Good pics

That’s a good looking critter!!!!
