What many people don't know is they're considered to be a threatened species and if caught with one in your possession, you could be fined as much as $1000. It is also one of my favorite reptiles, having caught and released them when I was a kid. </div></div>
They are still common out here, this is the 3rd one of this season. No agriculture for 100 miles so little pesticide use to kill off their food sources. The Texas horned lizard is the threatened variety, that im aware of.
Threatened, protected or not I think they are awesome little creatures and would never intentionally harm one. In fact this little guy tried to bury himself under the Jeep tire so I had to dig him out and move him to the safety of a near by bush before moving the jeep.
