Calling all lizard collectors!
June 30th, 2008 by Jon Skiffington
I’ve been at LizardTech for almost five years now, and one thing that has always been (pleasingly) surprising to me is how much people like the plastic lizards we include with our software and give away at events. These little guys have been all over the world, and are so popular that we order them 50,000 at a time.
Last year at the ESRI International User Conference in San Diego we had a contest for you to “Show Us Your Lizards.” It was a great success; the winner brought in 31 unique LizardTech lizards from over the years. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but the only problem was not everyone knew about it before the show started. Lots of people I spoke to at our booth said “Oh, I wish I would have known. I have dozens of them at home!”
Well, now’s your chance, because we’re doing it again. Take a look at our new contests for this year’s user conference, and show us your lizards this August in San Diego!

Where is my plastic lizard?!
Daniel,
If you come to our booth at ESRI, we’ll give you a plastic lizard. Really.
A few years ago I found a wonderful lesson online on making a dichotomous key using large plastic lizards. I think a high school teacher developed it. He had the lizards, pictures, names, etc. I downloaded the lesson plan and hoped I could find enough of the larger plastic lizards – not the little tiny ones.
Now, I’ve found some great plastic lizards at Libery Science Center, but I lost the lesson plans. Can you help?
