Notes
This specimen was seen along with at least one other sceloporus in an empty lot near our house that we have begun to monitor.
There are some small oaktrees and lots of cut logs on the property, and there seems to be rodent activity. We have also laid out several boards along the sides.
Hopefully, time will tell what lives there. We are hoping for kingsnakes and ringnecks, but more likely we'll see gophers, striped racers and maybe a helleri.
