Gambelia wislizenii
When I saw this lizard I thought it should be named Leopard lizard and it turns out I was right it is called Long-nosed leopard lizard. It has a large head, long nose, and a long round tail that can be longer than its body. About 12 cm long. They are endangered because of habitat destruction.
Red sandy soil in Arches National Park.
This is my spotting 4,400!

Thank you Neil. I found it n a desert and it was almost 40° C of temperature.
Looks like a very dry patch of earth too. He'd probably love Australia, although we probably have enough introduced species to contend with already.
Congrats. Luis, on the big 4400. A very handsome little lizard.
De nada!
Thank you Mark and Joshua.
Excellent find! Yet another great milestone!
Fabulous looking lizard. What a cutie. Congrats on 4K.
