"A new point in history has been reached, #entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the #food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides ... as #bugs declined, so too did the populations of #lizards, #frogs and #birds. Their disappearance, they wrote, had triggered “a bottom-up trophic cascade and consequent #collapse of the #forest food web”.

My camera shoots fascists

#LizardReport
Bill, or at least the one I'm calling Bill because I'm not 100% sure it's the same one as last fall, came over and I made him climb up on my leg to get fed. I wanted to get a close look at his face. It turns out he seems to have some glochids stuck next to his eye. Look close at his left eye. Glochids are those tiny hair like micro thorns some cactus having an abundance. I have a patch of Opuntia microdasys and they are fuzzy with glochids, but no thorns.

I debated grabbing him and tweezering the spines out but I was afraid it would spook him and he would never be my friend again. If they're still there tomorrow, I may do it because I'm about to leave for a few months anyway.

Poor Bill!

I always whistle when feeding the lizards, at least when first training them. Some don't seem to care much and respond more to me kneeling down and putting my hand on the ground. Others will just come up to me looking for food. A couple of the spiny lizards (including the one I think is Bill from last fall) will run across the yard if I whistle. I think this iguana will eventually respond to whistling.

One thing I'm really curious about is whether they are making the humans=food association with me personally or with anyone. Once one of them gets really tame, I'll have someone else try to get close or call them over.

(hashtagging these with #LizardReport so you can mute them if you get tired of me posting lizard pictures and videos 😂)

This handsome critter showed up this morning for the first time since going into hibernation. I managed to lure it in with mealworms, which it eventually took from my hand.

Desert iguana Dipsosaurus dorsalis

The Zebra Tailed lizard in the yard earlier ate a ton of worms that I tossed, but wouldn't come close.

Still no sign of Harriet and Bill, my porch lizard friends from last fall. I'm really hoping to hang out with them again before I have to go north for the summer. It's hot enough now that they should all be coming out of hibernation.

There are reports that vets and rangers can currently access the HomeSafeID register, but of course it is unknown how long this will continue. It's also unknown if the data will be picked up by another party or how that would work from a privacy, legislative, even just the actual process of transferring the data.

If your pet isn't Microchipped, definitely consider it. Given the situation with HomeSafeID, probably best to avoid them until more info is known.

Suggestion for anyone with microchipped pets, regardless of whom it is registered with:
- Check the microchip details of your pet(s) with petaddress.com.au to see who they are registered with.
- Make sure all information is up to date (ie: contact details/address), no matter which registry they are with.
- Make sure pets that are required to be registered with your local council/shire/city/state have been. This is separate to microchip registration.
- Keep a copy of all your pets information, including the microchip details. Confirm your vet has these details too.

If you want to transfer away from HomeSafeID to another provider, you usually need to deregister them first, which is hard to do if HomeSafeID are unresponsive. By having all the details yourself on hand, at the very least you can then reregister them if HomeSafeID goes away.

Are you living in Australia? Do you own a pet?

There are claims and rumours that HomeSafeID, one of the many national microchip pet registries in Australia, may have gone into receivership (unconfirmed), and as such it seems their future may be uncertain. During Christmas to early January, emails bounced and their phones were unanswered. There is a notice on their website from January 5th saying that there are some issues, but no detailed explanation of what happened or is happening. Even now, it seems no one has yet received a human response to any enquiries.

HomeSafeID is primarily used by the RSPCA all over Australia. If you got your pet through the RSPCA, it's likely registered though HomeSafeID.

This event highlights some of the holes in microchipping registries in Australia. A useful overview I found that covers this: vetmatters.substack.com/p/vet-
