Prairie Lizard

Sceloporus consobrinus

Description:

This species is generally gray or tan with a series of approximately 8 dark, jagged crossbars on the back. Scales overlap and are keeled, giving this species a rough texture. This species has a very limited ability to change color, from darker (in cooler weather) to lighter (in warmer weather). Males will develop bright turquoise-colored patches on the underside of the belly and throat. Juveniles resemble females in coloration, but are often darker.

Habitat:

Spotted in backyard. Wooded area nearby.
