  1. A beautiful lizard endemic to our little valley, I'd wanted to see this species for a long time! Surprisingly, it's completely absent from the drier forests where I would have expected to find it. Instead, I finally stumbled upon it in the garden of a friend's hotel, at 2500 masl in humid forest! Posted 10 months ago
    1. Congrats on a great find. Guess the lesson is to let wildlife come to you :) Posted 10 months ago
      1. Hehe, also, always be prepared (since this was, technically, during a friend's birthday celebration...) Posted 10 months ago
