Hi Emils, there is no need to suggest an ID for your own spottings. You already have this lizard identified, and the ID you have up and the ID you suggested are the same thing, the lizard was just moved to a new Genus. Have a look at our FAQ if you have any questions, https://www.projectnoah.org/faq
