This night lizard measures 1.5 to 2.75 inches from its nose to its vent.[1] It has a flattened head and dark splotches on its back. The eyes lack eyelids and have vertical, linear pupils. This lizard's diet consists of spiders and insects. It is mostly diurnal.[1] Bezy's night lizard is named after noted herpetologist Robert L. Bezy.
