Last pic of a "blue-belly" lizard is NOT a Sceloporus. Rather it is in the Teiidae family, is in the genus Aspidoscelis (formerly Cnemidophorus genus)

D Hews,
I strongly agree with you. If you look at my label for the photo directly underneath the photo of the pair of Aspidoscelis, you will see that it was correctly labeled, and that the label with "sceloporus" in it was referring to the sceloporus above. If I had been wrong, I would have greatly appreciated your correction, so thank you.
