Western Mexico Whiptail Aspidoscelis costatus

Endemic to Mexico, including Guerrero, Morelos, and Puebla. They are non-territorial, active "widely foraging" lizards. They move quite frequently, and almost incessantly, in short gaits and at a frenetic pace. Foraging is their primary activity throughout the day. They are seen busy probing with their snouts under leaf-litter, in crevices, scratching in the ground, or digging furiously through piles of accumulated debris.
