Notes
Park Species Detail: Per Hammerson (2005): This is by far the most common and ubiquitous reptile in BLCA, ranging from the highest elevation to the lowest. Until recently, this lizard was known as Sceloporus undulatus. The taxonomy of this lizard remains debatable, but based on genetic data from Leache and Reeder (2002) and Crother et al. (2003), S. undulatus was divided into multiple species, with the name S. tristichus applied to the populations in western Colorado.
