That texture is totally changed as Lizard want to match surrounding...
Thanks Asish, I was not sure though as oriental garden lizards have spines on their backs, but guess the juveniles do not?
Yes Sean you are correct.. Its Oriental Garden Lizard (mostle female) at juvenile stage...!! http://www.fieldherpforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3236
i think its a Agame but not sure By the way, perfect Picture!
Thanks monkey-mind and Courtney. Would search to know what that is.
oh, so cute! but this isn´t a chameleon... different eyes, and the toes aren´t grouped like at a chameleon!
