Yellow Spotted Lizards

I will be posting pages weekly on for you to read .please comment they will help me be a better writer.

If you are ever lost in the desert you may find what many have seen, but few have told, a yellow spotted lizard! First of all, the yellow spotted lizard lives off the beaten path. The lizards live in holes in the desert. They live twenty to a hole. The next thing you should know is their diet. Living in the desert does not give a vast amount of choices so the lizards have adapted to eating cactus thorns. Every lizard values small prey and may fight over an animal. They also eat small insects that fly in the desert. Sun flower seed shells are also on their diet. Another thing you should know is what a yellow spotted lizard looks like. They have eleven yellow spots, but the spots are hard to see on their yellow greenish body. Their eyes are deceiving, the skin around them is red but the eyes are yellow. The body of the lizard is six to ten inches long. You should also know their way of protecting themselves. Their primary protection is hiding in holes away from predatory birds. In a desperate attack, they will use their strong legs to jump out and use their deadly bite. So in conclusion if you see a yellow spotted lizard, just walk away and warn your friends.
