This alligator lizard had a unique appearance compared to the others in the area.
Peak Trail and Valley View Trail - Fremont Peak State Park, San Benito County, California
It was about 8 inches long total - on a driveway next to a yard with several redwood trees
In rural neighborhood
Dark eyes, lack of distinct bands across back, and stripes on belly between scales not through them distinguish from Southern Alligator Lizard.
Mortality from car (likely)
Same pair as earlier today
Sunlight hitting the mating pair. When I checked again at 2:50pm they were gone--no sign of them nearby. @gregpauly, any tips on re-finding them?
