Oriental garden lizard
seated on a hedge or bush, with the tail and limbs black,
head and neck yellow picked out with red, and the rest of
the body red.these bright, changeable colours are peculiar
to the male during the breeding-season, which falls in the
months of May and June.one of those fine variations of colours,
which, however, appear to be infinite.Although they have teeth,
these are designed for gripping prey and not tearing it up.
So prey is swallowed whole,They discourage intruding males by
brightening their red heads and doing "push-ups".
