Lacerta bilineata
Lacerta bilineata reach an average length (excluding tail) of about 13 centimetres, with a maximum of 40 centimetres, including tail. Their tail may reach up to twice the body length. The average weight is about 35 grams. The body is bright green. The head is bigger in males than in females and the males often show a blue throat. Juveniles are almost brown, with a yellowish belly and 2-4 pale longitudinal lines along the flanks. Also sub adults have said lines, together with several small brown spots on their backs.
