You're welcome Lavi. Well it was fortunate to come up with a very close image, of a species within the range of your spotting, from an apparently credible source.

Hi Scott Frazier, thank you for the ID! You made me so happy :-) and I will separate these two!

Hello Lavi. If thes lizards are from 2 different locations you should make 2 spottings even if they are the same species. Thanks
Lavi
Hi CindyBinghamKeiser, this island is full of those lizards. I spotted first one (pictures 1-3) on the hill above the Lastovo city. It is quite rocky but with green vegetation. And the second one (pictures 4-6) on the isolated rocky beach.
