<P> Like most other whiptail lizards , the New Mexico whiptail is diurnal and insectivorous . They are wary , energetic , and fast moving , darting for cover if approached . They are found in a wide variety of semi-arid habitats , including grassland , rocky areas , shrubland , or mountainside woodlands . Reproduction occurs through parthenogenesis , with up to four unfertilized eggs being laid in mid summer , and hatching approximately eight weeks later . </P>
