Whiptail Lizard: Everything You Need To Know About Whiptail Lizard, Feeding, Care, Housing And Diet (Paperback)

lizard is a relatively small reptile, whose size ranges from 23/4 inches (69 mm) to 51/4 inches (137 mm). Desert grassland whiptails are very long and slim, with a thin tail that is longer than their body length. Their distinct identifying feature are the six yellowish lines that run the length of their body. The majority of the whiptail's body tends to be an olive or brown colour that fades to a faint blue or gray on their tail. Comparatively, an adolescent's tail is a very bright and vibrant blue. Their bodies are lined with small coarse scales, which gradually get larger as they approach the tail. The scales on their bellies are much larger in size and are much smoother as well.
