Well I finally got the 20g set up for the wild caught lizards I got. They are about .5-.75 inches now I have been feeding them small ants and meal worms. Here is a few pics....any ID help would be great.

Cool pics! Nice looking setup.

Are they the same? The one in the bottom pic looks lighter with black stripes, the one in the top looks dark with light stripes. Could be a trick of the light?

I'm pretty sure the one in the top two pics is a fence lizard, Sceloporus, but I wouldn't hazard a guess on which. There are quite a few species out there, and lizards aren't my forte.

I like the set-up, MC. Enjoy your new friends. Ya might look into a vitamin supplement to dust their food with, I used to have to do that with anoles and tree frogs.

Thanks wyite, I think they are both the same the one in the last pic seems a little stressed....his colors are a bit lighter but from what I read about fence lizards the females are lighter maybe that is what is going on. I have only really been researching fence lizards though without a positive ID. I was going to pick up the supplements but forgot last time I was at petsmart....thanks for the kind comments!
