Lizards There are about 12 species or subspecies of lizards
common to the Four Corners Region. Many of these are readily
visible on a typical afternoon visit to the region. There are a
few species however, including the Utah Night Lizard, that
remain a bit more elusive or are peculiar to a certain location.
Below are a few photos of the more common lizards you might see
on your visit. Most of the following information comes from
Geoffrey Hammerson's detailed and informative book Amphibians
and Reptiles in Colorado, Revised Edition If you have an
interest in reptiles and amphibians of the Four Corners region I
highly recommend this field guide. I must include an
identification disclaimer- I am not a herpetologist, I have
never studied lizards other than through observation in the
field for fun. If you find any mistakes in my identification or
descriptions, please notify me and I will remedy the situation
immediately- email Gerald . Any help in properl
