About This Item

Leo the Lizard

Leo (AKA Iggie the Iguana) was found hanging out in a cache. Unfortunately, it was no where near a zoo or wild animal park where he could play with the other animals. His new owner adopted him and made him a travel bug so that he would get to move around.

NOTE Posted by Woffie 7/11/04: I just wanted to provide you with the history of where this lizard came from. (I am the original owner who dropped it into the Tiny Turtles cache). I went to Cuenca Ecuador in December of 2001 to visit my family who spent a year and a half there volunteering. They made friends with an Ecuadorian lady who owned a souvenir shop who gave me this key-chain as a gift when I met her. He loves to travel, so it's very fitting that he has become a travel bug!

I've been seeing a lot of baby Western Fence Lizards almost everywhere I've gone the past few days, but they didn't care for a photo op - ran and hid too fast for me.

This large Southern Alligator Lizard could not run fast enough, so I captured it for a photo shoot with Leo.

  • Leo & Southern Alligator Lizard As the name implies, this lizard resembles an alligator and is 14" long on average - quite large for a California lizard.

I had to wait for it to calm down before I could take a photo with Leo.
  • Lizard on the Defensive The Southern Alligator Lizard is defending itself from my grasp, ready to bite anything within its reach!

This was before the lizard calmed down. This is what a wildlife is supposed to do, so I was happy for its strong survival instinct.

Tagging along with me for my visit to the Western Railway Museum. No photos, since I didn't spot any reptiles today.

This cache is near the Coyote Point Museum, which has wildlife exhibits, but it's also next to a shooting range.

Leo will enjoy some peace and quite for now, without worrying about being shot.

Leo is on Coyote Point, North of San Mateo. There is a Wildlife Museum nearby, for what it's worth.
