About Aspidoscelis inornatus (Baird, 1859)
The little striped whiptail, with scientific name Aspidoscelis inornatus (Baird, 1859), grows to a total length between 6.5 and 9.5 inches, or 17 to 24 centimeters. It usually has a black base color marked with yellow or white stripes running from the head to the tail, and a light blue underside. It has a slender body, and its blue tail is roughly three times as long as its body. Male little striped whiptails have much more intense blue coloration than females. Not all individuals have stripes or blue coloration; some are brown with darker patches to camouflage against sand or dirt.
