About Carlia jarnoldae Covacevich & Ingram, 1975
This species, scientifically named Carlia jarnoldae, can reach a snout-to-vent length of almost 5 centimeters, or 2.0 inches. Its dorsal scales are tricarinate, meaning each scale has three keels. Along its dorsal surface, there are 5 to 7 black lines. The upper portions of its flanks are black, marked with small light blue spots. The lower flanks and front legs are bright orange. A white lateral stripe starts on the upper labials, runs through the ear opening, and continues along the neck. The preferred natural habitat of Carlia jarnoldae is the rocky regions of forests and savannas. This species reproduces by being oviparous, meaning it lays eggs.
