Sceloporus occidentalis
Sept. 7 Stubbs Spring, 4500 ft., Riverside Co., Calif.
Strung out over about 75 yds. of
canyon bottom. They were seldom
noted in close proximity to each other,
but there was no indication of any
exclusive territoriality; the animals
often passed each other and changed
their order in the linear arrangement
on the canyon bottom. One animal
was seen to move about 40 yards
up the canyon during the period
of observation, passing three other
animals en route. At about 8:00
A.M. (sky temporarily overcast) the
sand of the canyon bottom was
20.0°C. The temperature of an indiv.
shot at this time was 25.2°C.
