abstract: In the course of multi-year field research (2002–2022, and partially 2023) in the Karadag Nature Reserve (southeastern Crimea; 44.9º N, 35.2º E) the seasonal activity frame and terms of the emergence of juveniles were studied in two common species of lacertids: the Balkan wall lizard (Podarcis tauricus) and the Crimean rock lizard (Darevskia lindholmi).
