Enjoy.

It is Gonocephalus chamaeleontinus aka forest dragon. Very close to Japalura, but not quite.

Ok that is what I thought it was! That is what I posted... before it all got changed.... Gonocephalus, couldn't figure out if it was Chameleontinus or Kuhlii.
I have a great pic of a G.C. in a reptile picture book. Almost identical to the one in the pic, just coloring a little different. Book says it only comes down from the trees to relieve itself, the rest of the time it lives in 1,000 year old trees in remote regions. Despite it's inoffensive apperance, it has a fierce temper and reveals a fine set of teeth when roused. Distribution: java and Sumatra. Avg size: 8-10 inches

It seems you are right.Tks for the information too.As a Brazilian i can read and understand Italian very well(very close to Portuguese like Spanish and French).You are really an expert!!Tks for the others too!

An expert, no, never claim to be, in any topic. Somewhat learned, sure, why not.

now go this link and tell me what YOU KNOW about that blue guy!!!

http://www.rep-japan.co.jp/lizard/xenogama2.jpg

Xenogama's belong to the uromastix family.
What you have there might be known as a false uromastix or a beaver-tailed uromastix.

Either way, it is some type of uromastix. Very cool.

Ciao,
