Borneo Anglehead Lizard

Gonocephalus borneensis

Description:

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.

Habitat:

Tropical forest, endemic to the island of Borneo.

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

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.

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.
