I’m pretty sure these are just our regular alligator lizards here in So. California but have never seen one so dark before. Anyone know why or if it’s a different breed? Thanks #lizard#lizardsofmastedon#lizards
@suuuuconk I believe those are actually Western Fence Lizards, as the alligator lizards are much larger. That said, the ones in my backyard are also turning up much darker in the last 2 years...
@suuuuconk I've been seeing them a lot lately, and I have NO IDEA what is going on. Are they the same Western Fence Lizards, but adapted to some change in the environment? Or are they a different genetic strain? I also notice a lot of little ones, not many big ones (at least in my yard). Although that might be the fault of a striped racer. 🤔
