Collared lizards are named for the distinct brown or black bands of color around their neck, which are present in both the colorful males and the light brown females. ©MOconservation

Collared Lizard

The males are so bright blue, which is insane for an actual creature. To be blue. Amazing. But even though the females are generally duller, they still have a bright orange colour. Honestly, amazing lizards.

My friends and I went to a reptile expo! I took some pictures of the critters there.
