Am I right in thinking that this is a Striped Plateau Lizard? It looks like one, but where we found it is nowhere near it's listed range.

Look up the Plateau Lizard (Sceloporus tristichus). It may be that it's a lighter marked individual of that species and the gray dorsal stripe is a give
away for me. As for the Striped Plateau Lizard, it is not, by the fact it's VERY far from it's normal range. You could go back to the homepage and
click on "Reptiles and Amphibians of AZ" and look at some of the photos of lizards in there. Very informative! Hope this helps and sorry it took so
long to get back to you. :-)
