Yellow Collared Lizards?

blisterbug Aug 11, 2010 05:55 PM

Hi everyone. I have enjoyed looking at all the pictures and reading information in this forum. Years ago, in the 1960's, I remember seeing a collared lizard in southern Lamb County, Texas that was yellow. All over. To this day, I have never seen another like it. The rock and soil in that area are very light colored, I imagine this accounts for the coloration. I wonder if any of you have ever seen one like this? I may just take a little trip down there before the summer is out and see if I can spot another. If I do, I'll try and get some pictures.

I believe it...I've heard tales of all-yellow females from the oil fields near Odessa.
