Compare two species

Temblor Legless Lizard vs. San Diegan Legless Lizard

Their ranges do not meet: the eastern foothills of the Temblor Range (Temblor) vs southern California's coast, valleys and mountains (San Diegan). A: Only the eastern foothills of the Temblor Range (Kern and San Luis Obispo counties) in the Temblor Legless Lizard; coastal basins and the Transverse and Peninsular ranges of southern California, south into Baja in the San Diegan Legless Lizard. B: Light grey from chin to tail tip in the Temblor Legless Lizard; yellow in the San Diegan Legless Lizard. RANGE IS THE SUREST WAY TO TELL THEM APART: where you are decides which one it is; the rows below help confirm it.
