Also known as the "Jesus Christ Lizard" because when startled, it can run so fast that it will run across water. The normal crest seems to be lowered or none prominent in this specimen.
These reptiles were a common sight on the island, every wall had dozens of these living in the crevices. They varied a lot in colour but this one I thought was quite striking.
Northern Territory, Australia
We spotted this lizard while driving through the Australian outback in the Northern Territory. When he realized he had been spotted, he dashed to the nearest tree stump. He was not happy we were taking pictures and, in an effort to scare us off, he raised his frill abruptly around his neck. The neck frill is simply a thin but extensive fold of skin surrounding the throat. When fully erected, the frill measured approximately 12 inches across and was an extraordinary orange and pink. Thankfully, the lizard stayed perched long enough for me to get this shot. Soon after, he folded his crest, climbed down from the stump, and walked away through the bush.
Found at Dripping Springs Natural Area in southern New Mexico. Doña Ana County, New Mexico, USA.

I was unsure of the ID of this lizard so I posted this image with North American Field Herping Association on Facebook and I received a comment from one of the members that it is a Sagebrush Lizard. One of the key field characteristics is the black bar in front of the legs which is absent in Western Fence Lizards.

Our guide found this little lizard burrowing in the sand in the desert just outside Swakopmund, Namibia.
During a visit to the Butterfly House in Stratford upon Avon, I was surprised to see that they had an Australian Blue Tongue Lizard there. This was taken through glass, so I am pleased at how it turned out.
We occasionally have them in our garden and did spot a baby a few weeks back. The babies don't normally stay around for photos, but most of the bigger lizards aren't so shy.
De tant en tant, per trobar-te a tu mateix has de fer contorsions extravagants ... tot i això no deixis mai de mirar edavant.
Great to see these out and about, another couple of weeks and this male will be bright green, he is just starting to colour up now, found this on Dorset Heath
Sorry I left it too late to join the Herpetofauna Workshop at Peatlands Park today (25 March 2018). Wishing those present luck in finding the lizards there! This pic is from Peatlands Park in June 2017.
Hanging things up for the day, walking out of the field....there’s mr. Lizard.....so of course, I had to take a few shots. He even has a tick on his eyelid.
I found this fella (and many of its friends)on a beach on Saona Island (Domincan Republic). I believe it to be an Hispaniolan Maskless Curlytail Lizard due to the way it continually held its' tail up in an "S" shape.
