I was so surprised to see this Lizard eat the other Lizard. For one thing the prey was huge. For another it looked like it was the same species. I have posted the video here. https://youtu.be/ZeHOTLKp9WA

Common Sagebrush Lizard Sceloporus graciosusObserver
dswightDescription
Shedding old skin. Features separating S.graciosus from S. occidentalis appear to be the dark bar on shoulder, shorter spines on scales on the back, some white blotching on throat. Second photo shows granular scales on rear thighs. I had been told they were at the top of Mount Diablo, but never really studied the differences before. I used Calherps.
