Ok, there is a reason why he is hard to classify. You have to have a good book with good photos or drawings. From what I found around the net he appears most likely to be Bufoniceps laungwalaensis. The genus (Bufoniceps) contains a single species and it looks like your guy here. Either that or he is a deformed other agamid :) like skinny-tailed uromastyx or round-headed gecko :)))) Photos of what is purported to be Bufoniceps can be seen here: http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/spe....
wow - very unusual! I can't seem to fit that weird head it has anywere. How big was it by the way?
wonderful spotting and good notes - thanks!
Yes, this place is a treasure chest! Who knows - maybe one brave moon moth decides to...erm... migrate :) Most likely I'll have to endure a long flight to somewhere exotic in the hope of ever seeing one however. (I'd much rather ride a camel but that trip may take some time!) All the best and look forward to your next takes!
Incredible! What a lucky man you are! Thank you so much for sharing! I just learned about moon moths today - never saw them before. How do we entice them to the Mediterranean? :) :) :)
Incredibly beautiful. Does not compare to anything I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yarrow's spiny lizard I think. The pattern is a bit off for magister. Cool looking lizard btw!
