A sleeping Yellow-throated False Garden Lizard (Pseudocalotes flavigula), (SMITH, 1924)
2024 [LIFER]
Habitat: Highlands of Pahang (5000-6000 feet elevation), Malay Peninsula.
ID by Dr Evan Quah and Parinya Pawangkhanant
Etymologynamed after its yellow throat (Latin “flavus = yellow, Latin “gula” = throat).
Also known as Malaya False Bloodsucker, Yellow-throated Forest Agamid.
Description: The color pattern in P. flavigula is quite variable. The dark, dorsal bands range from brown to black and from to distinct and diffuse to barely visible. The light-colored upper lip, lateral throat and proximal section of the brachium can range from immaculate white to lime-green and it may or may not extend onto the anterior portion of the flanks. There is considerable variation in overall ground color that ranges from dull-white to lime-green which we attribute to substrate matching (Fig. 12) (Grismer et al. 2016).
Reproduction: oviparous
