Hopefully one of the groups working to eradicate ice plant will make it to this area soon.

@GeneralApathy 3 года назад

I was not aware that this initiative existed. I hope for the same.

@somebody6170 3 года назад

What a beautiful species, I enjoy your videos so much. Always looking forward to the next ♡

@GeneralApathy 3 года назад

Thank you so much. Anniella are some of my favorite CA lizards. :D

@@GeneralApathyWhat were all those things when you flipped the mouse? I've heard that what you call "sand fleas" on the west coast are completely different than what are called "sand fleas" on the east coast (a crustacean... maybe like a mole crab) lmao Were those west coast sand fleas?

Fun "Fact": The blue tint on the garter snake evolved so that the snake will have natural anterior camouflage against the sky in case it evolves wings suddenly

I’m from a town named Marina about 25-30 miles down the coast from where you are in this video. I grew up finding these in the sandy, dusty soil all the time. My grandpa would call them legless lizards but he’d also call them glass snakes even though Glass snakes are different if I’m not mistaken.

@frockz69 Год назад

glass snake (lizard) is another name for legless lizards I believe

The first snake was a california red sided gartee. Beutiful snake, they make great pets too.

I wonder if this animals body is adapted to drink saltwater being that its habitat is so close to the ocean.

@devlhstrat8849 3 года назад

I'm wondering if the knoby rear of the lizard doesn't grow back because it kind of mimics the head of the lizard and confuses predators. Although I'm not sure if there are many predators that visually hunt them due to there subterranean nature.

@GeneralApathy 3 года назад

This is a good hypothesis.

Do you know where in Santa Cruz mountains did you go?

How deep do legless lizards bury?

@Shaggy420. 2 года назад

Just yesterday my wife's friend was outside planting things and found a bunch of these living underneath one of the bushes in front of our house And I kept 2 of them Basically a fully grown adult and a small little blue one

@GeneralApathy 2 года назад

The blue one was probably in shed. I advise against keeping them in captivity because it is illegal. All US Anniella species are federally protected.

@Shaggy420. 2 года назад

@@GeneralApathy ahh I see looks like I'll be getting rid of them and just getting snakes lol

@@Shaggy420. Google "Native Reptile Captive Propagation Laws and Regulations" and download the PDF from the government website. It provides you with all the information you need.
