Blake-
Back in '85, the first scutulatus I'd ever seen wasin the park-but times were a LOT different then. Nocturnal wildlife observation was encouraged, and we even camped at the Chisos mntns. campground with all our herp equipment in full view! We were careful to inform the rangers that we were not collecting, just observing, in the park, and they gave us no trouble at all!
Nowadays the opposite is true. There is a zero-tolerance policy. As difficult as it is to believe, it is against the rules to use lights to even observe nocturnal wildlife in a DESERT National Park! Just stay out of the park-there are far better places to herp nearby, anyway.
