yes tajminator, the slit yellow rimed eyes make it look a bit spooky. But in the garden, I love them...

Their defensive pose is always awesome. They stretch their skin to revel thin Black and White bands within gaps of their scales. And they look different in that kind pose what seen on Wiki page and Chime's spotting in Karnataka what is SOTD.
