Acanthocercus atricollis
The Blue-headed Tree Agama display a Blue head during breeding season, when feeding and at the hottest parts of the day. Their colours change very quickly due to their scaling.
In a public park with different trees and plats, urban environment.
Acanthocercus is an African genus of agamid lizards. When I found this on the ground while sitting under a tree was not particularly spectacular. Muted colors and very calm. (photo # 5). Ten minutes later, it had worked its way up the tree, while he was eating small insects. The color became progressively sharper and clearer. One can also see traces of the recently shed its skin, because a small piece of skin still remains between the eyes. (photo # 3) Here is a link to some known subspecies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthocerc...
