Most species of lizards control their thermoregulation through certain behaviors. This can include basking under the sun and moving into shade, changing body position in relation to the sun and moving to shaded regions. In this project I observed two different Sceloporus malachiticus lizard groups to evaluate their thermoregulatory behaviors. I evaluated the aspects of body, substrate and air temperatures, behavior and flight distances for both groups. My results showed that while air and substrate temperatures were significant factors in the lizard’s thermoregulation, substrate temperatures played a stronger role. Furthermore, lizards showed increased activity earlier in the mornings and exhibited resting behaviors through most of the days...
