Hi, I know this is the ratsnake forum, but do any of you have an asian reptile field guide? I have a lizard I need to identify to better care for it. Here are pics.

That looks to be a chinese lizard of the family Eremias. They're in the Lacertid clan. They're typically insectivores. I'm not sure which species it is.

Here are some links
