Western Fence Lizard - (Sceloporus occidentalis) 3:28

 
Although California is the heart of the range of this lizard, it is also found in eastern and southwest Oregon, as well as in the Columbia River Gorge, southwest Idaho, Nevada, western Utah, and northwestern Baja California, and some of the islands off the coast of both California and Baja California. It is found in scrub and chaparral, up to elevations approaching 6000 feet, but it is not generally found in the desert.
