Abronia taeniata
Beautiful white, black and yellow lizard . About 30 cm (one foot). It didn´t try to run.
In the biosphere reserve "El Cielo" (Heaven), a cloud forest.
Conservation: Species listed in NOM (Norma Oficial Mexicana) as species in risk, due to significant habitat loss, small area of distribution and suspected pressure from illegal trade.
By the way, have you seen this other alligator lizard?

Thank you S Frazier, I really appreciate your ID. I knew this was special lizard. It's a shame that it is an endangered species. Although the place where I saw it is a biosphere reserve, it is very difficult to stop the illegal trafficking of animals.
