New additions

This wikipedia page does not seem very finished and therefore there is a lot that I think could be added about this lizard. Because of this, I have taken the liberty of adding to sections. Specifically, to the habitat section, I added that aspidoscelis costatus can be found in both urban habitats like cities as well as wildlands. This information comes from https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11252-020-01038-7. I correctly cited this on the wikipedia page under reference 3. This study tests the influence of urbanization on population canalization.

Also, I added to the introduction at the top by stating that this lizard has two common names. One is the western Mexico whiptail and the other is the Huico Lanero, which is in Spanish.

Additionally, I added to the section about aspidoscelis costatus’ reproduction habits. Aspidoscelis costatus are oviparous species. These species must go through a process of selecting an adequate nesting site for them to lay their eggs on. The females of this species of lizard have ovipositors for egg laying. A study was conducted that was able to determine that aspidoscelis costatus females are responsive to seasonal cues for oviposition. Therefore, the season does affect embryonic development and egg laying. I also added in that the majority of squamate species are indeed oviparous. To be exact, 80% of these species do not typically exhibit parental care.

This information is from https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jose-Mendez-Sanchez/publication/351945870_CharaCterization_of_thermal_and_hydriC_Conditions_of _nesting_sites_of_female_Aspidoscelis_costAtus_costAtus_squamata_teiidae/links/60b14be2299bf1f6d5802745/CharaCterization-of-thermal-and-hydriC-Conditions-of-nesting-sites-of-female-Aspidoscelis-costAtus-costAtus-squamata-teiidae.pdf. This was cited under the wikipedia page as resource 4.

Mirrors

Thanks for contributing to the article Blue-tailed day gecko. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.
