Field Notes

Description:

About 12 cm long and very scaly.

Habitat:

Parque Eco Arqueologico Copalita, Oaxaca

The northern portion of the park extends over the barrage of Copalita River and the southern part consists of hills of igneous rocks. The elevated area south presents a steep rocky cliff, facing the sea, with a beach bar of the Copalita River. In the central part of the property there is a wetland, which is added to from storms and floods on the Copalita river. Along the river gallery forests extend in the flat areas and scrub and deciduous forest are developed.

Species ID Suggestions

Comments (1)

Hi huatulco, I have deleted your ID suggestion. You don't need to suggest an ID on your own spotting. Also, putting a family name in the scientific name box is often frowned upon, especially with vertebrates since most can be identified by others down to at least genus, and usually a species as well. Sometimes with invertebrates it's nearly impossible to go past family just by looking at pictures, so it's okay in these instances :) Look forward to seeing you around the site!
