As others have indicated, this spotting is not the changeable lizard, Calotes versicolor. Please see the suggestion. Here is another link as well http://www.fobi.web.id/fbi/v/reptil/f-ag... Thanks

I agree. I have already changed my cristela post several days ago, but I missed this one.

Good job picking that up :)

Don't apologize, we are all just striving for the truth.

I'm sorry for the wrong ID suggestion.. That's not Calotes versicolor.. But I thinks that's not Bronchocela cristatella too, folicallychalled.. Bronchocela cristatella has blackish color on its ear and the part around its eyes.. I think that is Maned Forest Lizard (Calotes jubatus), and this species is very common in Bandung.. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/127...

I am pretty sure that this is a green crested lizard, Bronchocela cristatella. They do change color when under stress.
