i'm really looking forward to seeing this kind !! :)
Yes, it is! Lizards are not my area, but they can be from now! Here in Croatia we have a lot of endemic lizards on islands, a lot of our islands have their lizard, it's because of isolation, and because the Podarcis melisellensis is very variable species...hope will find some of them :D
beautiful specimen !!
