Notes
Found around trash cans. Healthy and aggressive, even as the vouchers show that it has stumps for two of its feet and the tail has re-grown several times. This is the first adult observed in backyard; observed several juveniles. Due to oak trees, water, and the oak woodland, backyard is visited by skunks and native woodrats, which may explain the "damage" this lizard has sustained.
