This small
tropical lizard, known as the
Oriental Garden Lizard,
is able to change colour according to its surroundings
and its Thai name
king kah
is therefore
sometimes rather misleadingly translated as
chameleon.
It is an insectivore and the male
gets a red throat and neck in the breeding season,
leading to the common -but incorrect- name of
Bloodsucker.
