aaronaggeler's Identifications

Location approximate after error found in automatically updated location. Was 45 minutes' drive south of Panaca. Photo taken as our arrival into the Mojave Desert was demonstrated by the change in vegetation.

Found sitting on a rock on the side of the trail near some leafy underbrush. Did not appear inclined to move while I was photographing it, though it did keep an eye on me.

Has been tentatively identified as a S. magister due to the indistinctness of the body blotches and apparent presence of dark blue scales on the back.

Seen in outdoor portion of museum (not a "zoo" animal) in the cactus gardens. Ran across the path in front of me and then ducked behind some cactuses. Based on coloration / pattern, likely a younger adult.

Unfortunately was not able to get a clear picture of this animal. However, I observed that it was gray with dark gray crossbars and heavily keeled spiny scales. It was large (~11cm SVL). The picture seems to show distinct bands on the forearms. Based on these observations, I believe it to be Sceloporus clarkii.

The lizard was sunning itself on a boulder when I saw it; it immediately ran down to cover behind a bush when it saw me. When I approached, it vanished into a crevice in the rocks.

Very large individual (est. SVL 6") found rustling around in a large agave plant. When chased out, ran and jumped across boulders until it decided on a suitable crack to hide in. Displaced another Sceloporus as it squashed itself into the crack.

Had banded forearms and a bright light blue belly. Body color a light brownish gray.
