About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Spiny Lizard sighting in Puebla on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 11 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June and September–October

Of the 4 cities where we can rate Eastern Spiny Lizard sightings, Puebla has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come León (México, about 20%) and San Luis Potosí (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Spiny Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Puebla (38 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
