Small-spotted Lizard

Mesalina guttulata

Description:

"a small, slim lizard with a long, narrow snout and a light brown-grey body. As its common name suggests, the upperparts of this species are covered in conspicuous light and dark spots, which sometimes form a lined pattern. The underparts of the small-spotted lizard are whitish. The limbs of the small-spotted lizard are relatively robust, and the toes are long and thin. The small-spotted lizard has a very long, slender, banded tail, which measures around twice the length of the head and body and is blue in juveniles." ~arkive

Habitat:

spotted in a coastal desert wadi
