common name:side blotched lizard,desert side blotched lizard
scientific name:uta stansburiana
range and origin:almost all in the trade are wild caught,they are from the west and south west united states.
length:around six inches
terrarium type:desert with an abundance of sturdy rocks
temp range:80-95 degrees farenhight
water:a small dish of drinking water and mist the cage in the morning and evening for water droplets.
