Calotes Mystaceus - 2 pics

I have published a lot of photos of lizards in my blog. While traveling in Europe, I came across different types of them — huge green ones in Greece or golden ones in Spain. But only after visiting Asia, I discovered absolutely amazing species of lizard with a very long tail and a large blue head!

Fortunately, Google quickly told me that these creatures are called Calotes Mystaceus or Indo-Chinese forest lizard. During the mating period, males of this species change the color of the front part of the body to a bright blue color.

Only thanks to the telephoto lens I manage to shoot these amazing and very nimble creatures.
