That tiny, blue spot on its neck has earned it a spot on my Nature in Blue list ;) Posted 6 years ago

  That's the tip of a little iceberg of blue across his throat. Posted 6 years ago

      It's funny, I was remembering the blue going all the way across the throat, as it does in the related species near my home (Sceloporus occidentalis). But the blue on the belly makes up for the not-as-much blue on the throat! Posted 6 years ago
