B.R. Moon 1987 Species Account Mojave Fringe Toed Lizard (Uma scoparia) 22 May South side of Kelso Dunes (Devils Playground), San Bernadino co., CA. Claudia Luke, several other UCB graduate students, some of their guests, and I hiked around the lower dunes and saw several sand lizards, mostly juveniles and a few adults. Most of them were near small shrubs or bunch grasses, usually with rodent holes nearby. We caught a few small lizards to photograph and released them on location. As we went higher on the dunes we saw fewer of them, and by early afternoon most of the lizards had taken cover from the sun & heat.
