Garden Fence Lizard

Koh Samui, Thailand

Calotes versicolor, commonly known as the Garden Fence Lizard, is a color changing lizard. Calotes
versicolor is widely distributed throughout S.E.Asia including Thailand. This color changing lizard
can change color rapidly, varying between uniformly tan to grey with reddish markings. Calotes
versicolor can be easily identified by the 2 small spines above the tympanum but no spines behind the
eyes. Very common in Thailand, Calotes versicolor can frequently be found in parks and gardens and on
wasteland.
