Gonocephalus borneensis
This Borneo Anglehead Lizard - Gonocephalus borneensis are much easier to find/see at night time when they are resting on low branches/leafs. This one was of medium size and perched on a small dead branch at around 1.3 meters height, and didn't moved at all the whole time I was taking pictures of it.
Tropical forest, endemic to the island of Borneo.

Your welcome, AlbertKang....
Thanks, @Daniele.
It was a juvenile, and it was relaxed and posing for the pics, I was even able to take a selfie with it :D
Beauty Albert! Nice to see the whole lizard with the tail together with headshots.
Cool, @armadeus.4
Look forward to your night walk spottings, usually lots of bugs can be seen at night, including some cool Phasmids from Australia.
Thanks heaps Albert. I really want to go exploring at night so this is awesome. I'm on it...with a swagload of batteries also :D
You can easily buy that torch light online, its very cheap, price range between US$10-20 with or without rechargeable battery and charger. Usually one battery is not enough as when set to the brightest, it only last for 1 - 1.5 hours. I usually brings 6-8 batteries :D
Thanks for that Albert!!! That makes so much sense. Now I hope to find a torch like that and go prowling around at night for critters :)
Thank you, @armadeus.4 :)
I use a very bright torch light for my night walks and its a flooded system with even lighting, not the spotted lighting where the middle is overly bright.
Great images Albert. How do you take such clear pics at night? Beautiufl little reptile. Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks, @maplemoth662 :)
Thanks too, @Machi, sorry I didn't replied earlier, overlooked it :(
This one is still a juvenile, the body length is around 15 cm but the tail is much longer.
