Do you keep your eyes open for the Sagebrush Lizard while hiking around? Because the top, light brown individual looks like a Sagebrush lizard, simply because of its pattern and less distinct keeled scales. Also, sagebrush lizards are common in the San Bernardino mtns. Nice post, too bad about the killing of the Kingsnakes. Perhaps if they were informed that they are not venomous they would stop killing them. Below is a picture of a Sagebrush Lizard from the San Bernardino Mtns, they look a lot like Sceloporus occidentalis.

see lots of those around.As juviniles they ahve more of a distinct pattern right..?.Nice brown and light cream-tan stripes,and black speckles on the throat. And there is much variation in them,or much variation in all the fence lizards around there-(I've just always called them fence lizards) but I know they have to be different ssp,because there are the dark black ones as adults,and then baby black ones-(western fence lizards) then the baby ones with the stripes-(sagebrush).
