Every so often you come across a impressive specimen like this Twin-Spotted Desert Spiny lizard. These colors (red head, blue torso, yellow sides) are completely natural, plus his underside is a bright lime green. (Naturalist DW providing the hand modeling.)

Have found a couple of that guys close relatives lately in our park, they're horned lizards, or as we called them as kids, horny toads.
One was about the size of a silver dollar, the other the size of my thumb.
As kids in Texas we could find them about the size of the palm of my hand that we would tie a spring around & lead them around.
