Long-nosed Leopard Lizard (Gambelia wislizenii)
Lizards Around Las Vegas, Wildlife Around Las Vegas
General Description: These are fairly large lizards with a large head, long tail, and dark leopard spots on the back and tail.
A leopard lizard slowly wriggles its long tail as if using it as a lure. Or maybe it's a nervous behavior.
A large adult leopard lizard is noosed around the waist then released where it was found in some low sand dunes in Imperial County.
