Good to know. They're very ubiquitous in W. Africa. Here are my spottings - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19299950 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19797371 I guess it was being territorial when you took this shot. That posture is very familiar : )

dotun, these Agama lizards are an African species that was released or escaped in Florida. Here's a little info about the Florida population. http://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/reptiles/african-redhead-agama/

I thought we had this only in Africa. Or is it export? : )
