Abronia taeniata, the banded arboreal alligator lizard or bromeliad arboreal alligator lizard, is a vulnerable species of arboreal alligator lizard described in 1828 by Arend Friedrich August Wiegmann.
Abronia taeniata is eurythermic. It can sustain activity at a wide range of temperatures and actively avoids favorable microhabitats in the spring and is a moderate thermoregulator during autumn and winter.[3]
