Alligator lizard eggs hatch in late summer and early fall and it is about this time each year that I see these young alligator lizards with their amazing tails.
Unless eaten by a cat, hawk, snake or another lizard, these young alligators will grow to maturity in about 18 months and reach possibly 16-20 inches long including their tails. They’ll eat a lot of insects along the way and will develop markings on their back. They will probably lose their tails, grow a new tail, and grow up to look like this:
