Product Description
When the desert becomes extremely hot, lizards resort to estivation, meaning a period of inactivity. They go without much water and food and their breathing and heart rates slow down. Lizards are cold blooded reptiles, and as such, if the desert heat increases intensely, they will burn to death. Normally when resting, they conceal themselves underground, and they become stationary during that period. This is the way they adjust to the climate they live in.
You can generally find them from the coastal regions to the high mountain peaks of 6000 feet and above. You find them only in the elevated deserts. You often see them clearly at these ranges. They flourish in different habitats that range from the highly elevated forests to the chaparral on the coast and the foot of the hills. Generally, you will find them on tree trunks, on the ground, the lower branches of shrubs, in wood piles and in rock crevices.
Zebra-tailed lizards range in size from 2.5 to 4 inches (64 to 102 mm) in snout-to-vent length. These lizards are grey to sandy brown, usually with a series of paired dark gray spots down the back, becoming black crossbands on the tail. The underside of the tail is white with black crossbars. Males have a pair of black blotches on their sides, extending to blue patches on their bellies. Females have no blue patches, and the black bars are either faint or completely absent. Zebra-tailed lizards live in open desert with fairly hard-packed soil, scattered vegetation, and scattered rocks, typically flats, washes, and plains.
