California Lizards and How to Find Them by Emily Taylor

One day, you finally take the time to observe the mundane fence lizards that scuttle across your garden every day, when you’re shocked to see a flash of electric blue on their belly as they bask in the sun. This is just a snapshot into the incredible world of lizards this field guide entices you to explore. The diversity, natural history, appearance, and techniques to observe each species are thoroughly detailed, inviting equally the seasoned herpetologist and their friend who’s afraid of geckos to take a closer look at the lizards around them. From the diabolically endowed horned lizards decimated by human development to the exotic and invasive Jackson’s Chameleon, California is rich with lizards of all walks and slithers and scuttles of life.
