I haven't solved it yet myself...

Very large!

Time consuming. I admit I got rather bored with it and had trouble persevering, but I did eventually make it all the way through.

When I found it unsolvable, I just removed the white spine from the back of the reptile. Maybe I should have tried a smaller size instead.

It was both solvable and enjoyable.

Thanks. It turned out a little bit big, in my opinion.

Don't the reptiles turn into birds?

Giant Lizards, and the People Who Graph Them, Next on Geraldo.

Agreed all round. Good puzzle, but by the time I got done, I'm all, like, Great BIG Lizard.

Love the Escher idea, though.

Solving, for me, started near the butt (and I have to insist that's not typical!) and so for the longest time I thought it was either going to be a frog or a turtle. It wasn't until I saw the eyes develope that I figured out it was going to be a gecko. A cross eyed one at that!

Easily recognizable as from Escher. Well done.

Very enjoyable solve!

Quite fun.

I enjoyed this. I was in Oahu recently and saw a big wall painted with a tessellation of these lizards, in alternating shades of green. It was cool.
