I have no less than a hundred toads this year. They are all rather large

we'll have a lot of toads next spring.




Sounds neat!
We have a few, I imagine that if I did build a pond, they would probably
use it to lay eggs.

I do seem to have a breeding population of 3 different types of lizards,
as I see lots of babies this year.

Oh, lizards are so plentiful here I can hardly take a step without seeing a
bunch scattering around. We have skinks, anoles, fence lizards, and I have
seen
a horny toad, which brought tears to my eyes!

Now _that_ is cool! Horned lizards are an endangered species in Texas
thanks to fire ants!

I also have lots of anoles, western fence lizards and of course geckos
by the dozens! Those breed in my attic. We find eggs around the edges up
there. They are most welcome!

I saw my first skink last year and hope to see more.


Also, we have the
Mediterranean
gecko all over the limestone which covers our home. I suspect they live in
the
attic, which is find, as long as they don't get hurt by anything up there. I
do
have cellulose insulation, not fiberglass, so they should be okay.

Ooh, see above. G I typed that before I read this part! lol
