Baby Changeable Lizard

[tchuanye]

Well well, I have been waiting to shoot a similar species like this changeable lizard for a long time. I have taken a pic of a green crested lizard before, and since than did not succeed in getting another as they scram very fast as soon as you approach them....usually out running you into the bushes or trees.

But, today, saw this baby...run as fast as it can, it is only one step away from me! So took the chance to shoot it. Only thing it was on the grass, so had to lay on my elbows to shoot it....now suffering rashes as I am allergic to grass!

INFORMATION:
I have read that this fella is a immigrant, and not native to Spore, but was introduced here in the 80s either from north Malaysia or Thailand. It is slowly replacing our native Green crested lizard, which has a brighter green colour than these.



Appreciate your comments!

#1: Introduction: Baby Changeable Lizard
I think you guys should be familiar with these grass, so you can estimate this fella's size.


#2:Try to hide but I can still see you....
This reminds me of the Jurassic park scene where the raptors were eyeing the hunter with its eyes!


#3:My Portrait


#4: See my baby teeth!

#5: Say AHHHH!


#6: Bye!

thanks for your comments. Valid points.

Well the first shot is just an introduction to the lizard, to give a feel to its size.

I really like all of them.

#5 my personal favourite!


I kind of agree with the spacing thing but I LOVE THEM now as well!

Well, not so good. My underside of the arms are almost like the skin of the lizard . Woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and itch like mad....
This allergy has been with me since young....so seems I like have not outgrown it...

Thanks Leslie for your concern.
