Field Notes

Description:

This adult specimen was about 1 meter long, I've seen him many times in the same area, but this was the only time it stood still for enough time to picture him. It usually stayed in the bushes where I could only here him slide away and see his tail dissapear.

Habitat:

A rocky cliff with thick and low bushes
