Texas Horned Lizard - Texas Parks and Wildlife [Official]

I remember playing with these guys when I was a kid in the 80's-90's in the Fort Worth area but I havent seen any since. Always loved these guys.

You would think photography of scale patterns combined with documentation of other physical features and geographic location would yield better records than digit clipping. Seems a bit invasive and in a scientific way could interfere with the end resulting data of the study. At least they aren't gassing areas and collecting the bodies.

There are so many better ways to identify and collect data from these animals, removal of digits is unnecessarily cruel and harmful to a species that is already threatened. I cannot believe that it is actually stated that "they get around well missing a toe". Shame on Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Fire Ants are not native to our lands, they must all die just like Africanized Bees.

@anikinippon We have native species of fire ants in Texas and all across the SW.
