Unexpected Reptile Visitors: Safely Coexisting with Frogs, Turtles, and Toads

I've noticed that we have been getting a lot of reptile visitors lately. 

This frog has decided our fish pond is the perfect place to cool off during the day. I even saw him in my daughter's inflatable swimming pool one afternoon.



We found this little toad hiding in one of the logs that encloses our garden yesterday. 

This red-eared slider turtle found her way to my drive the other night. She's pretty big and this is the second time I've found one in the last few months. You can read about my first red-eared slider turtle rescue here. 

And of course, we've got lizards a plenty. These cool little guys are Texas Alligator Lizards. I saw a group of three run into our pomegranite tree the other day. 

This green anole lizard was doing a little dance on my AC unit right outside my window. You can see him stick his little red neck pouch out while he's dancing.


We've also got grass snakes and I've seen them about three times this year so far. This photo is from last year when I caught one chasing a frog through the yard. As you can see, the frog didn't win the race. Sorry if this photo is sad for anyone. Snakes gotta eat too. =/
What do you think of reptiles? Are there any wild reptiles where you live?
