Calotes versicolor
It measures over 10 cm (3.9 in) in length snout-to-vent. Total length including the tail is up to 37 cm. The ground-colour is generally a light brownish olive, but the lizard can change it to bright red, to black, and to a mixture of both. This change is sometimes confined to the head, at other times diffused over the whole body and tail.
They are commonly found among the undergrowth in open habitats including highly urban areas.
