We don't kill them, don't spray them, don't put out poison bait for 'em. We just note their presence and otherwise ignore them. Kind of nice to have around. You see many of our lizard's reproduce unisexually, called parthenogenesis. Many of the lizards we see are whiptails and many reproduce without males but there are some fellows around.
Whiptails are quite common here.
There are several species, but I'm no expert. Slim streamlined bodied, long tails up to twice as long as the body, dark colored, squarish scales on top and rectangular ones on the belly if you could look closely. Often 6 or 7 light and dark stripes down her length sometime during her growth. She lays eggs. The reason we see her so often is she moves about, forages during the day, diurnal.
