In 1969, Oklahoma designated the first state reptile when it chose the common collared lizard or "mountain boomer".

It is very similar to the Common Collared Lizard, Crotaphytus collaris, in shape and size, but it lacks the bright extravagant colors.

Reptiles found in the area include the Hopi rattlesnake, western king rattlesnake, horned lizards, common collared lizards, bull snakes, and desert spiny lizards.

These include Western pond turtle, Common collared lizard, Northern alligator lizard, Sagebrush lizard, Short-horned lizard, Western fence lizard, Western skink, Bullfrog, and Cascades frog.

Typical glade inhabitants, like the state-listed Eastern Collared Lizard, Missouri's largest, reaching lengths of 12"-15" in length, can be found sporadically throughout the park.

The Broad-headed Skink, Prairie Racerunner, Red-lipped Plateau Lizard, Northern Earless Lizard, Eastern Collared Lizard, and Texas Horned Lizard are also indigenous to the area.

The Oklahoma Collared Lizard or Collared Lizard, Crotaphytus collaris, is a North American lizard that can reach a foot (30 cm) long in length (including the tail), with a large head and powerful jaws.
