About Leiocephalus psammodromus Barbour, 1920
Leiocephalus psammodromus is a small species of curly-tailed lizard that has less well-developed keels on its dorsal scales. Its overall body color is pale sandy gray, marked with irregular black bars and spots. The underside of the lizard is grayish white, with scattered dark spots on the throat. This species is endemic to the Turks and Caicos Islands, and has been recorded on all islands in the region, though it may have been extirpated from some of them. It is found in xeric habitats, including coastal scrub and open areas, and often occurs in leaf litter. It is an omnivore that feeds on fruit and other lizards, and will even scavenge carcasses of its own species.
