Field Notes

Description:

Total length is up to 35 centimetres (14 in) or slightly longer. Like many agamids, stellions can change color to express their moods. They bask on stone walls, rocks, and trees. They are usually found in rocky habitats, and are quite shy, being very ready to dive into cracks to hide from potential predators.

Habitat:

Spotted in the ancient marble quarry of Flerio (Naxos island, Greece).

Notes:

Greek common name: Κροκοδειλάκι
