From the second shot I would guess that this is an hard one to spot. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

I do see your point in keeping them separate. Maybe you can just add in the description of each spotting that one is an adult and the other juvenile.

This lizard was the same type, but spotted on a different day. If you look at the pictures closely, you will notice this little guy is a baby compared to the other one. Are there still advantages at combining the spottings?
Dan Doucette
I noticed you have 2 separate spottings for this lizard. It would be better if you can combine the photos all together into one spotting. You can add 5 photos per spotting. Love the horns on this little guy!
