ad R. Moon 1987 Species Account Desert Iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) 13 April Sandy wash below east-bound lane on ramp to Interstate 40 at Kelsaker Road, San Bernardino Co., CA. Bruce and I saw several desert iguanas, both juvenile and adults, taking cover in the croosote bushes and other small shrubs in the wash. Approx. 1400 PST, ~100°F, sunny, no breeze. We captured one juvenile lizard by hand; it had green stains on its mouth from eating the plants in the wash. Upon capture, it inflated with air as much as it could and didn't exhale the air until we released it at the site. The other lizards were too wary & fast to capture as they ran from bush to bush when we chased them.
