Eastern Fence Lizard

Sceloporus undulatus

Description:

Primary Diet carnivore insectivore eats non-insect arthropods Animal Foods insects terrestrial non-insect arthropods mollusks Plant Foods leaves. Source:http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/Sceloporus_undulatus/

Habitat:

Found along the wooden raised beds in my vegetable garden. I've since seen three separate lizards including one that lives on a pile of logs I have at the edge of my garden.

Notes:

They have grown accustomed to me working in my raised beds and allow me to come within a few inches of them without scampering away. I haven't seen them in a while since we've had much rain lately.

Yes, although it might just be me being presumptuous... it may just be a coincidence or they may have been eaten by a predator. I have seen lots of birds and snakes in the area.

Interesting that you haven't seen them as much due to the rain.
