This may or may not be that weird, but last year, Sean Peach, Tanner Tumlinson, and I were hunting Black Gap, and there was a HUGE white lizard in the middle of the road (about a mile or two from the border), and what's more, it was VERY alert. We saw a lot of smaller sleeping lizards on the road, but this guy was a monster and was awake and upright when we found him. We got out and chased it, and it could flat out boogie,...pretty alert and agile for a lizard at 1 in the morning.
Just from the size (probably 5 or 6 inches, head-to-vent), color, and speed, it had to have been a Gambelia wislizenii, if those, indeed, occur down there.
