Chia layed 3 infertile eggs 2 weeks ago, but she is filling out again, and looking real perrty for a Sunday Pic !! LOL Eve

...and her tail is all fleshed out again, she looks great. Interesting that some species seem to have longer and more slender limbs, in comparison to the C. collaris "bluestars" from Southwest Texas I have. Mine tend to be much thicker in limb and more squat in station (particularly the females, they're like little bulldogs), compared to the vestigiums and the dickersonae. One of Boink's eggs is still hanging in there LOL.

I've got the blues...LOL...them screamin' yellow-head blues...

limbs and some, being little chunkers, LOL My Hopi is like your females, what your saying, she is kinda short and real stocky all the time, even after she lays her eggs. When done she still looks fat, thunder thighs, hehehehheheh ! Cute though ! I'm happy that Bionks egg is hanging in there, good luck, be nice seeing a little Boink, LMAO ! Eve

According to McGuire, the longer, leaner body type and narrower head is an evolutionary trend correlated at least in part with the dietary preferences of certain species of Crotaphytus (C. bicinctores, C. dickersonae, C. grismeri, C. insularis, C. vestigium) in their natural environments. Although I am unaware of any studies related specifically to the subject, it is entirely possible that the aforementioned crotaphytid species in the wild rely on vertebrate prey to a greater degree than other collared lizards. I would imagine the particular habitats occupied by the various Crotaphytus species over the course of time has also played a role in determining the morphology of present-day collared lizards...
