Home pride swells into barrel-chested stolidity, this brown firelizard a devout patriot; a walnut glaze melts over his strong upper body and widespread, opaqued wings while smaller haunches are bogged in mahogany roots. A true yankee is he, a daring spirit flaring bright in those keen, intelligent eyes that peer from beneath stocky headknobs.

Maribet

Battleship grey hide stretches tautly over the torpedo-like body of this small lizard, a coating of algae over the hull bespeaking her feminine alignment. Narrow wingspan is counterbalanced by deeper vanes, ripples of watery sunlight dancing across the translucent skin. Heavy spaded tail serves as a rudder, in flight or when swimming, talons gleaming deep mahogany. Playful serenity gleams from the jeweled orbs set in arrow-shaped head.
