Crotaphytus bicinctores is the desert collared lizard. It is very similar to the eastern collard lizard in shape and size, but it lacks the bright extravagant colors. Males can be brown to orange and some red or pink on the belly. females are more black or dark brown. Also desert collard lizards have elongated scales near the nails and their tail is more triangular in shape than round as with the eastern collared lizard.
