The side blotched lizard is found mostly in northern western
United States. They can be found is southern states as well. They
are characterized by having common blotches (which refers to
placement, not frequency), and a throat that features yellow,
orange or blue coloring. They grow to be roughly six inches in
length tail included. Are they a pet? I suppose anything can be a
pet, how it will fair is really the question. A side blotched
lizard would require live food (insects, crickets, spiders etc.)
heat, water, and places to hide. Said lizard could be a pet that
you cant pet as side blotched lizards have been known to bite.
