Northern Alligator Lizard

Elgaria coerulea

Description:

She was about 3 1/2 inches, with her full, original tail. She was a very light brown, with dark brown specks threw out her body.

Habitat:

I found her on top a pile of red dirt, burnt wood, dry grass, and lots of fist sized rocks. She then went into a small hole to the side, were i waited. The pile was off the to the side of an old logging road, in the middle of a clear cut. The hill was facing south.

Notes:

I lived in the house right next to Almasie creek. So i cam back to her den a couple days later and found babies there with her.
