TT: the electric blue lizard

 

At our hotel in Chaing Mai, Thailand

 

 

 

 

I have to share the original photo as his natural color was magnificent!

 

 

 

Thai name: Ging-ga Hua Si Fa or Ging-ga Suan

English name: Indo-Chinese Forest Lizard (aka “Blue-crested Lizard” or “IndoChinese Tree Agama”)

Scientific name: Calotes mystaceus

 

 

Description:  Has rough body scales and a back crest that runs from near the back of its head down to the middle of its back. Males have a much more prominent crest than females. Background color is grey to olive with a series of 3-5 reddish spots often running down the side. 

During breeding season the forebody of both males and females will turn a light electric blue.

First photo textured with my own textures plus Kim's sea, cool grunge, and maybe.

What a beautiful creature! Nice retouching, too ~

Absolutely great. What wonderful coloring. Much more colorful than the geckos we nad on Guam. But the geckos were fun to watch as they would walk across the ceiling of our home catching insects. Beautiful photos.

Amazing! I don't mind reptiles, as long as they don't sneak up on me.

This fella is beautiful! Reminds me of a little fella we've met near Fruita, Colorado, where we've been mountain biking. Quite happy to have his picture taken. I like your texture editing too!
