Thanx patty.I took this snap when it was climbing on a wall of an ancient temple.
Beautiful lizard and picture Saurabh! It must be used to climbing a lot regarding its habitat. The pose in the first picture is fantastic, I had never seen a lizard opening its legs as wide in order to stand on the rock. Greetings
