Common Sagebrush Lizard (Sceloporus graciosus) Up-to-date distribution and status information can be found on the Montana Natural Heritage Program's TRACKER website at Distribution/Taxonomy The common sagebrush lizard is a member of a large genus of North American lizards found from Panama to the Canadian border. Three subspecies are currently recognized: the disjunct sand dune lizard, S. g. arenicolous, of southeast New Mexico and adjacent Texas (Degenhardt and Jones 1972) has been elevated to full species status since Censky's (1986) sagebrush lizard species account. Two subspecies are restricted to Pacific coastal states of the and Baja Peninsula of Mexico. The northern sagebrush lizard, Sceloporus graciosus graciosus, occupies the majority of the species' range, and occurs from northern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico, north through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, eastern Oregon, central Washington and southern Idaho, at elevations to 3200 m (10,500 ft) in the southwestern states (Nussbaum et al. 1983, Censky 1986), reaching the northeastern limits of its range in Montana and North Dakota (Hoberg and Gause 1989, Maxell et al. 2003, Werner et al. 2004). In Montana, there are scattered records east of the Continental Divide across the south-central and southeastern counties north to the Missouri River. Maximum Elevation 1,999 m (6,560 ft) in Gallatin County (Rawson and Pils 2005). Identification Eggs: Eggs are white, leathery, and oval, about 13 mm ( in) long and 8 mm ( in) wide. Clutch size is 2-7 and clutches are laid in loose soil in shallow cavities, often at the base of a shrub (Nussbaum et al. 1983, Hammerson 1999, Werner et al. 2004). 417.
