Notes
Habitat and geographic range (based on Jones and Lovich) narrow this down to one of two species (A. burti or A. sonorae), assuming there is not a Mexican only species I am not considering. I'm calling it A sonorae because it gas 6 light stripes and it lacks the reddish tail seen on juveniles we found a little further south and referred to as A burti. Comments or corrections are appreciated.
