Fence Lizard Facts: the BLUE BELLY Lizard 🦎 | Animal Fact Files
Fence lizards are also known as blue belly lizards. They may also be called pine lizards and swift lizards. Fence lizards tend to be quite distinct. They have spiny, keeled scales which is why they are sometimes referred to as spiny lizards. Another of their common names is blue belly lizard because they have bright blue bellies, especially the males. Male fence lizards will do push-ups to flash their bright bellies in order to show dominance to other nearby fence lizards and secure a basking spot. When they aren’t soaking up the sun during the day, fence lizards rest in their burrows at night. These are usually located right by their favorite basking spot so they can scurry there if disturbed. They may also scurry up trees! For this reason they’re also known as pine lizards and swift lizards! We hope you learn something new about fence lizards with today’s animal fact files video!
