The images below were taken in Shawnee County, Kansas and relate to the non-native lizards that have become established in the county. Some of the photos were taken in Topeka, Kansas and others were taken at a research area located at Northern Hills Junior High School. The photos were taken by a variety of people. Some of the photos are links to other pages and websites. The link to the 2007 RUNNING OF THE LIZARDS is at the bottom of this page.
