It's gorgeous g/f. It almost looks like a Skink.

Beautifully captured with some great lighting and detail.

:bounce: I love Lizards too, I don't know why many people don't, I think they have a lovely face!!! o:) This one is not exception... even if it's staring at you with a defiant air, as if it didn't want to have it's picture taken! ;) If it could see your lovely pic, would change its mind! :'D Well done with this opportunity, Helwa Dulce Doux g/f, a charming souvenir from Sharm!!! :t: :t: :t: :t:

yes Helwa Dulce Marian g/f she was very annoyed by me getting so close she only gave me a chance for three shots.

we have many lizards over here i don't mind them and do like them, but not to get inside the house as they do sometimes. usually i use herbs to repel them, but the one who live with me prefer a more deadly approach to get ride of them.

thanks Tony and Marian.

Try having one accidentally go through a fan and wind up splattering all over yourself. ;)

This is so similar to our 5 lined skink. Do they have them in Egypt?
