In fact we do have a single reptile species , the common lizard, aka viviparous lizard or Lacerta vivipara but it is very rarely seen . Imagine my surprise then, on a recent visit to the Giant's Causeway, to see a little yellow-brown lizard running across the path in front of me and obligingly sitting still on the grass verge long enough for me to take the picture below!
A real 'hardy exotic' ! (...... well, 'native' actually)

He's cute.
I used to catch them on some waste ground near my home as a kid.
And the occasional grass snake, slow worm, toad and frog.
Now I live in the USA (Santa Fe, New Mexico) and recently became a frenzied sculptor of animals.
If you don't mind my asking, what do you make of my animal bronzes?
If you like them, I love it if you'd show your friends!
I'm trying to get my work seen by a wider audience.
If not, thanks for looking.

Interesting. I knew that Ireland is snake free, but had never thought about other reptiles. Good post.
