Male Collared Lizards, with their yellow heads, are extremely bold and territorial. While some individuals opt to run away when humans approach, others hold their ground and do push-ups and head-bobs to denote their territory. In accessible populations near roads, Collared lizards are threatened by collection for pets. Since each male occupies a fairly large territory, there are only a few adult, breeding males within a typical colony of collared lizards, which might occupy a particular desert valley, hillside or isolated glade. Therefore the highly visible lizards are highly susceptible to over-collection, which could destroy a breeding colony.
