Alligator Lizard identification
 

Hello

I was sold a pair of Alligator Lizards today. I was told they're captive bred from lizards collected in the Texas Rio Grande area, but they remind me of Southerns. Can anyone help me confirm their species?

These are NOT Texas Alligator Lizards. Texas Alligator Lizards are found in the Texas Hill Country and the Big Bend Park which is a protected area and NOT in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

I'll let someone else more knowledgeable on the Arizona and West Coast species of Alligator Lizards identify these for you.

Thanks for your help!

Looks like a Southern Alligator Lizard like we have in So. California.
