Things like anoles probably won't break the skin if they bite you. They'll just leave little indentations.

Angel and Zeke, the two-headed California king snake, exceeds expectations by surviving more than six months despite the typical short lifespan of bicephalic snakes.

Around this time of year, hitherto hidden wildlife often emerges from hiding seeking food to eat. Common or viviparous lizards are faring so well on Chislehurst Commons that a recent survey discovered 12 there, alongside 73 slow worms. It's certainly been a good year for reptiles here. Habitat improvement is underway to stop bracken, blackberry and gorse becoming too dominant in the area, ensuring a rich ecosystem for these species.
