Western Fence Lizard Sceloporus Occidentalis. Male. This guy was strutting around the backyard with his full colors on display for any females that may be in the yard. Yeah, he's got the dragon swagger and the eye shadow to match.

The western fence lizard is a common lizard of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Northern Mexico, and the surrounding area. As the ventral abdomen of an adult is characteristically blue, it is also known as the blue-belly.
