Which Whiptail ??
El Paso County, Colorado
About the size of a typical Western Skink.
I suspect Plateau Striped Whiptail but cant rule out Six-lined Racerunner.
Thanks for help.
Re: Which Whiptail ??
I think it is sexlineata based on the green pigmentation anteriorly. I've never seen velox with any green pigment at all. Also if you have other photos look at the posterior surface of the forelimbs. velox have enlarged scales there, sexlineata does not.

Re: Which Whiptail ??
I'm going with six-lined. Between the two dorsal lines it has a lighter region more typical of sexlineata, whereas the Plateau Striped Whiptails appear to have a faint to pronounced stripe between the analogous lines. Could be wrong, but that's my guess.

Its definitely sexlineata.
