Lacerta Agilis
Found in woody sand mountains... Male
Maybe you'd like to add this spotting to the 'Reptiles and Amphibians of Central Europe', http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1329...
Yes yes, they are in my book and there is an all green one from Romania http://www.wp1150997.wp182.webpack.hoste...
I will change the ID from unknown
yep - the males change colours in the pairing season... and the females are brownish...
but what i mean is that many reptile species in nature have several diffrent colour-morphes... there's that red-back morph,

then there's a white-morph too

that longer snout could be an individual anomaly
but i rather say it looks pretty much like a sand lizard...
Yes, I have a book where the different colours are shown. Mine should be a male.
what i know about them is that they live in habitats like the one you mentioned... and i read that they are quite variable in colour, there's even one variation with a red back reported from bayern...
Thank you Martin :)
The problem is that there aren't others that looks as similar and I know absolutely nothing about reptiles. Could there be others possible?
Thank you for ID suggestion. That was my guess too, but I thought the head wasn't round enough and I found him in a forest, but it was sand ground I think.
