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.
Males reached sexual maturity at a smaller SVL (snout-vent length) than females. The same pattern emerged with body mass and both males and females had similar weights.
In males, testicular volume varied with the month; smaller in November, increases in December through January, a plateau from April to August and after a peak in September and October there was a patterned decline in November. Testicular increase correlated with mean monthly precipitation, but not temperature or photoperiod.
Litter size was not correlated with female SVL (snout-vent. length).
