Oops!! I misspelled the name! Liolaemus (no "r") zapallarensis.
Thanks Lori.tas! The link was very useful! As it turns out, my last 2 submissions are the same lizard species: Liolaremus zapallarensis, this one is an adult, and the brown one is a juvenile. So thanks for the link again, I have absolutely no doubt my lizards are the same ones that appear on that link (he's pictures and mines were taken around the same area).
Look at this site and tell me what you think; http://fotos-manueljara.blogspot.com/sea...
Looks like a type of monitor lizard...
That's absolutely gorgeous.
