It is a large forest dwelling lizard that inhabits lowland forest and peat swamp forest. Diets consist of insects. Can be found in Peninsular Malaysia, Bormeo and Sumatra.
The brown speciment was found during the day and green at night. I have seen them in a few areas so far in Sarawak...good eyesight and a lot of luck. Yes those blue eyes are captivating. Thank you all😍
Bob your pics are fantastic (out of this world). Can you please give us some more info. on what you know about this creature. How did you find it? and are they common?
