It is surprising that lizards can survive your winter conditions at all yet
obviously some do. Many reptiles are able to survive very cold conditions
by hibernating. Even here, where it doesn't get very cold, the lizards &
snakes tend to be quite sluggish on cooler mornings. I would say those are
in the process of emerging from hibernation. Perhaps you should have
observed them over an extended period?

Perhaps they were pottering along in the warm sunshine but were caught out
by a sudden cold snap and are simply frozen waiting to be warmed up again.
That would be appropriate for Easter. Only a herpetologist or a theologian
would know.

Hi,
There seems to have been a number of "what is this" PESOs lately, and I
think I'll post one, too, as I came across something strange and perhaps a
bit sad today. Here I go:

Not the best of pictures, but the point is to ask if anyone have an
explanation of what I saw. Well, I think I know what this is; it's what's
known as "firfisle" around here, i.e. a small lizard. The thing is (the
sad part), I don't think he was sitting so still because he was pining for
the fjords, but rather had passed on, ceased to be, expired and gone to
meet his maker, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir
invisible, and so on. Perhaps nothing extraordinary, either, but I
actually saw 15-20 of these in a similar state, all on a pawed path. This
made me wonder what was going on. I mean, perhaps these poor creatures
just didn't make it through the winter, but I think it's a bit strange to
find several of them "in the open" like this.
Any theories?
