Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey all,

I was recently in Tucson, and the hotel I was staying at had many different kinds of lizards running around. Well I saw a spiny lizard of some kind that stumped me. There were Desert Spinys all over, but the one I speak of
resembled an adult male Western fence lizard. It was a tad bigger than most Fences I've seen, I'd say about 4"SVL double that total length. Had yellow and blueish on the back, but with the duel row of black spots dorsally. Is this a Clark's Spiny Lizard? That is my only guess, as Western Fences don't make it into Tucson. Any help would be apprectiated. Thanks guys.

regards,

Would you perhaps have a photo of said lizard?

Dead forums suck Check enature.com for pictures and info on N. American herps. Just go to that site and click on "Dield Guids" Click on "Reptiles" and you will get several pages of thumbnails to check. Click on a thumbnail to get info on that species

well,
it was indeed the Clark Spiny Lizard. thanks for the link Jason. AZ has some neat looking lizards. Of course, I was after the Tree Lizards and the Horned Lizards..... That was a lifer for me though. So there's one more herp I've seen in the wild as it were...=) Thanks again.
