Podarcis melisellensis
Small robust lizard with a very long tail - about 6 to 8 cm in body length, plus twice as much of tail length. It shows greenish back with brown sides.
Not very common visitors (or more likely, mistaken for other common ones), in our garden in Dubrovnik - the mediterranean garden all in terraces. Here seen on stone walls of these terraces. This lizard is endemic to Adriatic coast (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Montenegro), where its natural habitats are Mediterranean-type shrubby habitats (garrigue and maquis), and rocky areas.
