Gerrhonotus multicarinatus
Nov 25
Watershed land (E.B.H.O.D.) S. & W. of
Grizzely Stables, Contra Costa Co., Calif.
Today we found a juvenile under a slab
of rock. The rock was a lava stone about
3 x 3 x 2 feet in size. The stop had fissured
off and was pulled loose to reveal 2 Sceloporus
and this Gerrhonotus. The crevice was quite
dry although the surrounding area was damp. I was
also found a large adult under a rock on & exposed
slope and I found another juvenile in a similar
spot. All the animals were quite inactive.
Air temp about 48° F., a sight to heavy rain
much of the time.
