such a beautiful colours :-D
thanks Donna
What a beauty.
My pleasure!
Thanks S. Frazier....you helped ID it....now it has a name.
Yes it does, Alice (That was a Dalmation wall lizard,
Podarcis melisellensis). There are other members of the genus in Italy besides that one, like the Italian wall lizard, Podarcis sicula, and others. I think this spotting must be Podarcis sp.
Lovely markings! Great shots!
Similar to my lizard in Croatia
