The lizard managed to get away with some human intervention. As soon as the cat dropped the lizard, the lizard dropped its tail, which wriggled enough to keep the cat's attention while it made its escape.

Male/male fight: 2 well matched males battle for more than 15 minutes. I did not stay to see the end of their competition, or if either got injured. They circled each other and moved in side by side. One would bite the other's leg, or tail and the bitten lizard would spin to try to dislodge the biter. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjeVkN5rfgo

apatiaDescription
Observed a coast night snake (Hypsigiena ochrorhynchus) consuming a side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) on the Grotto trail within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area on April 13. I first noticed the side-blotched lizard at 3:45 pm with its head in a burrow on the side of the trail, but when I tried to pick it up it became apparent something was holding on to its head. I stayed and watched as the night snake slowly emerged form the burrow to consume its prey over the course of 45 minutes. Once finished the night snake slithered off the trail into some low shrub cover. It was no more than 12 inches long.

Found this lizard dead in the bird cage at my grandparents house, it was stuck in the wiring and was covered in ants before we removed it. I believe that this was a male because of its prominent femoral pores & the deep blue color of the scales under the neck and on the stomach.

Found this snake in the pool. 1:36 PM
At first it was at the edge of the pool, and when my mom and I walked to the backyard, we saw the snake slither into the pool and get onto the chlorine cap. When the cap neared the edge, the snake slithered away.

Observation and photos sent to me by a neighbor, Y. Jin.
I questioned further and received the additional photos and following explanation. What's neat, too, is that the Elgaria has its tail in the first photos, but then at some point, dropped the tail, and the snake also ate the drop tail once it was done with the Elgaria.
"And YES the snake won, but it took some time since the lizard did indeed bite the snake as well! Also after the snake finally swallowed the lizard, it ate the lizard's tail which had fallen off as well."
