I don't think this would be appropriate for the "The colour blue" mission as the lizard is not blue in colour - it is brown (?) but seen as blue in this photo because of the LED light. Troy, it's a great spotting ! - thanks for sharing.

Excellent spotting! Haven't heard of these before. Pity about the lighting.

I would say that this was an accurate representation of its true colour. We used a large LED torch for lighting.
