What do they eat anyway, besides desert lizards.

They just kind of amble around aimlessly. They prefer meat like mice and lizards, but I think the bulk of their diet is stuff like crickets. Some people feed them little balls of raw hamburger.

I know they also dine on snakes; they can kill a rattler by avoiding the strike, grabbing it and beating it to death against the rocks. Now, that is something I want to see someday!

Just yesterday I watched on in the backyard have a three-foot faceoff with a chipmunk, but it lost interest and moved on.

Check my homepage for more pics.
