The Mojave fringe-toed lizard's range extends from Inyo County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County in California to western Arizona in La Paz County. [4] Most are restricted to areas which have fine sand, dry lake beds, desert washes, and hillsides. [3]

Flaps also close against the ear openings when moving through sand, and the upper and lower eyelids have interlocking scales that prevent sand from getting into the eyes.
