Reptile & Amphibian Forums

OK I know pics are best, and I am trying to get one. My friend found 4 lizards in South Alabama in the woods. They are about 3.5 to 4 inches. The description I got was that they look like bark with a blue belly (2 with blue, 2 without but they are the same species). They apear almost crested. The toes are slender, and they are terrestrial (no climbing on the walls of the aquarium). Any ideas or pointers so I can look them up? Any help would be great. Thanks

A member of the genus Sceloporus.

I'm not sure on the range, but maybe the Eastern Fence lizard as found here:

I *think* the only other scelops in the eastern US is the Florida Scrub lizard, which can be seen (along with the eastern) here: www.southalley.com/album_lizard.html

Yes, an Eastern Fence Lizard (or the Southern subspecies) Thanks for responding. Now we can figure out how to take care of them.
