These lizards prefer rocky desert flats, areas with sparse vegetation or mesquite-prickly pear associations, and the uplands of the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas. They quickly retreat when threatened. In North America, these lizards are found in Central and South Texas and adjacent Mexico. In Texas, they are seen from the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas into the western part of South Texas.
