Field Notes

Description:

immature specimen of my previous spotting

Habitat:

tropical rainforest

Notes:

This lizard was very territorial in the campground at Rio Claro reserve. I spooked him a few times and only noticed him as he ran away. I started to learn his behaviour and where he liked to hang out. I began to approach his area slowly, scanning for him. I would always find him, usually perched on a small rock.
