We have our first documented hatch of Texas Horned Lizards! As near as we can figure, about 25 new little lizards joined our population about 2 weeks early. Warm summer temperatures evidently go a long way towards speeding up the hatching process! We don't have a good way to keep up with horned lizards when they are this small, but we sure hope we get to see them again in the future! Good luck little lizards!

To help bring this iconic species back to our part of Texas, Fossil Rim has joined the captive breeding program led by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Here’s to hope—and horned lizards—returning home! | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center | Facebook
