Eastern Fence Lizard, female

Description:

The eastern fence lizard is either gray or brown with rough scales and a dark line running along the rear surface of the thigh. Females are usually gray and patterned on their back with a series of dark, wavy lines. The young are patterned like the female but are usually darker and duller.

Habitat:

They are most common along forest edges and often inhabit rotting logs or stumps. Seen at Jordan Lake

Notes:

The colors look a little different because the sun was shining in the first photos and then not.
