Re: Taiwan Lizard ID
Mike,
It looks like Japalura polygonata, can you tell me where in Taiwan it was photographed? It would help to better identify it.

The enlarged dorsal scales between dorsolateral stripes appear to be arranged in "V" shaped ridges, which is a diagnostic character for J. swinhonis. I think it is a female J. swinhonis.Paul Freed wrote:Mike,
