Notes

Flipped under a rock. Specimen looks like it is entering a shed cycle and looks like it very recently ate, lump about Sceloporus size (but could have been anything).

Had been raining about an hour earlier, started to rain again soon after citing.

Georeference approximate (forgot to bring my GPS unit) via Google Earth but can't be more than 50 feet off.

21 scale rows at mid-body.
