Thank's to everyone at PN, I've been using the site to help make ID's for a year or so and thought it was about time I started contributing. Thank you again, Rob.

Thanks Reza, Chief I'm not sure if the pic 3 & 4 is a female as this lizard can change it's colour from blue to brown over a few minutes. I have seen a blue one chasing a brown one from a tree so my guess was they were both males, the male can also turn the upper third of it's body red but I don't have any good images of this right now.

Hi Rob this is a nice spotting! Please tell me is the 3rd and 4th pictures are female?
