44. SDNHM - Western Fence Lizard Like many species of lizards, this one is able to change its general coloration to match its background. Light colored lizards placed on dark rocks become a http://www.sdnhm.org/fieldguide/herps/scel-occ.html

Sceloporus occidentalis Western Fence Lizard PHRYSONOMATIDAE Sceloporus from the Greek skelos , meaning leg and porus , meaning pores in reference to their femoral pores located along the underside of the leg. The name occidentalis refers to their western distribution. The species as a whole ( S. occidentalis ) is called the Western Fence Lizard. These lizards are more commonly called "Blue-bellies" or "Swifts." Description The Western Fence Lizard measures 3 1/2 inches ( snout-vent length ), and is about six inches in total length. Coloration ranges from light gray to black with dark blotches on the back that continue down the tail. Male Western Fence Lizards have bright blue, sometimes greenish, bellies, and the undersides of their legs are yellow. Females lack this decorative coloring. The scales are keeled and somewhat spiny. Subspecies: There are as many as five subspecies. Only the San Joaquine Fence Lizard ( S. o. biseriatus ) and the Channel Islands Fence Lizard ( S. o. becki ) occur in our region. Range and Habitat Western Fence Lizards may reduce the incidence of Lyme Disease in their range! It has recently been discovered that when infected ticks feed on the blood of these lizards, the Lyme disease spirochetes they carry are destroyed. In areas with Western Fence Lizards, about 5 percent of ticks carry the disease, while in other areas 50 percent of ticks harbor the disease.

Miller, and the photo below is of a young Western Green Lacerta that was collected by James Gubanyi of Topeka, Kansas. Mr. Gubanyi has lived in Topeka, Kansas since 1959. He worked for the late Dr. Charles Burt, the person that owned Quivira Specialties of Topeka. Most people agree that the populations of Western Green Lacertas and Italian Wall Lizards that can be found in Topeka were introduced from animals that either escaped or were set free from Quivira Specialties.
