The “vorhiesi” group average clutch size is 22.87 first instars (n=100 births, 2,287 first instars). Being one of the larger species it would have a relatively large clutch size, estimated to be approximately 25 first instars. Birth and postpartum behavior would be as described in Ayrey (2013a).

Graham (2007: 1) states: “...Faunas adapted to these isolated mountain environments are therefore disconnected from similar habitat on adjacent mountain ranges by extreme climates of xeric lowlands. ...”. This paper applies to the isolated, elevation habitats on the Colorado Plateau as well as it does the Madrean pineoak woodlands of the south.
