This is a little unusual for around here. We usually have the blue headed ones. It's about 14" LOA. ???

That's a Chinese Water Dragon(Physignathus cocincinus), a member of the Agamid family, very common in Southeast Asia, including Thailand.

Thanks! That would explain their profuse numbers along the canals and rivers around here.

 

[CHLee]

Looks more like a Calotes versicolor

 

[wayne the pain]

Yeh i agree, a Calotes sp, possibly C mystaceus :wink:

 

[The Snark]

I'm waiting for a consensus here.

 

[Nanotrev]

I'm waiting for a consensus here.

I would say that it is a Calotes versicolor as well.

 

[Dr. John]

It's definitely Calotes versicolor .

 

[The Snark]

Okay, thanks! So these truckers are S.E. Asia's version of U.S. western fence lizard it seems.

 

[Alejandro45]

agreed! Calotes versicolor is my best guess after seeing only one wild adult here in FL.
