I think this is Calotes versicolor. C. emma has a spike over the eyes.
Dan Doucette
Yeah, for sure. There seems to be a lot of variation within even the same species. I have more agamids to post in the future. I haven't tried to ID them yet, but if I get stuck, I send a comment your way.

Those agamid lizards are tough to ID
