It is often difficult to distinguish between the Eastern Fence Lizard and the Sagebrush Lizard. Sagebrush lizards have a black bar in front of their shoulder , smoother scales than the Eastern Fence lizard, and dark crossbars that form a striped pattern along their back. Although they are named for the sagebrush, they can be found near a wide variety of vegetation types.
