Geographic rangeA. erythrurus is native to Europe in Gibraltar, Portugal, and Spain, and is native to Africa in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.[3]HabitatThough the spiny-footed lizard prefers dry and sparsely vegetated regions,[2] it is not restricted to arid terrain, and it is not uncommon to find it in other environments.[1] DescriptionThe spiny-footed lizard's coloration and the pattern of its spots are extremely variable.[2] As result, zoologists have from time to time classified such variations as separate species. BehaviorThe spiny-footed lizard, like other members of the genus Acanthodactylus, may defend itself aggressively and bite tenaciously, if one tries to catch it. Individuals are continuously involved in skirmishes with other members of the species and the males strenuously defend the borders of their territories.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} ReproductionA. erythrurus is oviparous.[1] The number of eggs in a clutch varies from three to seven.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} The average total length (including tail) of a sexually mature adult of the species is {{convert|18|to|20|cm|in|abbr=on}}.[2]SubspeciesThe following three subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies:[3]
