Bronchocela cristatella
the Green Crested Lizard inhabits primary and secondary forest, but can also be found in disturbed areas and parklands. The body colour is bright green, sometimes with a bluish tinge on the head. When threatened the body colour can become more brown. Males have an attractive neck crest. The tail makes up over 75 percent of its total length.
This lizard is known to occur in Burma, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines (the southern islands including Mindanao and Palawan), Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and other parts of Eastern Indonesia, and Java.
