Good clear shot of the lizard. This one is a kind of chameleon I believe.

A kind of iguana, perhaps ...
Very still - likes posing LOL
I do like them, but would not exchange my furry Tiger for any pet as cold as this one ... LOL

He's some kind of lizard and he's quite beautiful. Such a fine clear shot of this fellow. Wish I knew how big he is.

This is an Oriental Garden Lizard, also known as an Eastern Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard. It's an agamid lizard (phylogenetically a sister to the iguana) found throughout Asia. Unlike other lizards, they do not drop their tails (autotomy), and their tails can be very long, stiff and pointed. Like other reptiles, they shed their skins. Like chameleons, Changeable Lizards can move each of their eyes in different directions. Changeable Lizards eat mainly insects and small vertebrates, including rodents and other lizards. Although they have teeth, these are designed for gripping prey and not tearing it up, so prey is swallowed whole, after it is stunned by shaking it. They are commonly found among the undergrowth in open habitats including highly urban areas like your garden.
