Starred Agama - Laudakia stellio
The Starred Agama is a terrestrial lizard with a wide distribution that spans across parts of Asia, Europe and Africa. It is also known as the Roughtail Rock Agama.
Like many agamids, L. stellio can change its colour to express its mood. It basks on stone walls, rocks, and trees. It is usually found in rocky habitats, and is quite shy, being very ready to dive into cracks to hide from potential predators. This was one of many examples seen basking in the sunshine on the Greek island of Kos. Some were black, but were very camera-shy!
