I caught this guy in my garden this afternoon, whilst wandering around.
The Oriental Garden Lizard can grow as long as 37cm including the tail, which unlike other lizards, they cannot shed in times of danger. During the breeding season, the male's head and shoulders turn bright orange to crimson and his throat black. Both males and females have a crest from the head to nearly the tail, hence their other common name, the Crested Tree Lizard. Like chameleons, these lizards can also move each of their eyes in different directions.
