Acanthodactylus erythrurus
The lizard's coloration and the pattern of its spots are extremely variable. Apparently, only the juveniles and females in heat have the tail and feet red.
The Acanthodactylus is native to a wide area of Africa and southern Europe, being found across the Sahara Desert and on the Iberian peninsula. Though the lizard prefers dry and sparsely vegetated regions, it is not restricted to arid terrain, and it is not uncommon to find it in other environments.
