I found two adult skinks in two pitfall traps below the spring. One ♂ was in a trap at the edge of a Desert Almond bush through which water from the spring flowed. This lizard had a brick red head and overall golden body. The surrounding habitat is steep and rocky on one side, with a few small shrubs, agave plants, and piñon and juniper trees. The other side is a flat, cow trampled plain that marks the fork in the two canyons. The other lizard, a ♀, was in a trap under a Desert Almond approx 20 m below the other trap, in the same general habitat but without any surface moisture nearby.
