This nice family from Toronto was lucky enough to see the rare Long-nosed Leopard Lizard on their San Andreas Fault Tour yesterday. It happened to get very close to the tire of the Hummer. The female specimen in the photos below clearly shows that she is ready to breed or is "pregnant". During the mating season, females will develop reddish-orange spots and bars on their sides and underneath the tail when gravid. (Gravid means carrying developing young or eggs.) The breeding season extends from May to June with a single clutch of 5-6 eggs being laid usually in the months of June and July, which hatch in the late summer months of July and August.
