I presume this was taken in Zimbabwe since it's included in "Exploring Zimbabwe". That would make this a Kirk's Rock Agama (Agama kirkii) rather than the similar West African Rock Agama (Agama africana). Posted 9 years ago

I created a species record for Agama kirkii, so you can use that to identify this lizard now if you agree. Posted 9 years ago
