Bronchocela cristatella, Green Crested Lizard


Saw this beautiful elegant lizard whilst waiting for some students in Pulau Ubin, it was perched on a low branch, showing off its rich and luxuriant green skin. This elegant native of Singapore should have been more common in our secondary forests. Sadly, they are being displaced by the exotic changeable lizard, Chalotes versicolor.

That's a beautiful shot. The pose is particularly striking and the color is amazingly vivid!
