A medium-sized, striped lizard can be seen basking on a bare patch of sand and gravel amid patchy, drying vegetation. It is facing away from the photographer and looking back over its shoulder.

I, like this Western Whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris), am going to opt outside today in search of some sun. Or at least in search of some dirt to touch. Stay safe, stay sane. #herps #whiptail #lizards #tigerwhiptail #cnemidophorus #reptiles
