There are a few major differences between the northern and southern tortoises. The northern form, or G.petersi, is usually smaller in size as adults. The color is also generally darker in the northern form. There are also some behavioral differences. Because the climate is not as harsh on the north, the northern tortoises are reported not to dig burrows as do the southern tortoises. This might explain the distinctive annular rings that are found on the tortoises from the north and not the south. Both groups go into an estivation period during harsh weather conditions, such as winter or extreme summers, but you really wouldn’t call it hibernation.

This nocturnal (active at night) gecko has a bark and a bite. The voice of this species can be heard clearly, and the lizard seldom hesitates biting its keeper at the slightest provocation. The large, cat-like eyes lack movable eyelids; and (like many other geckos) these lizards clear their eyes with the use of their tongues.

Sometimes eats other insects
AVERAGE LENGTH: 6 1/2 inches (16 cm)
NATIVE CLIMATE: Cool steppe, cool desert
NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico
When antagonized this species of horned lizard is able to emit a fine stream of blood from its eyes; the blood can be projected up to 7 feet (2.1 m). This lizard can also puff out its body by filling itself with air. Such extreme defense mechanisms are necessary because the horned lizard, sometimes referred to as the “horned toad,” is a relatively small, non-aggressive lizard. The health of these lizards usually deteriorates quickly when the animals are kept in captivity due to difficult temperature and humidity.
