      I think the introduction of the Calotes liolepis is a Calotes versicolor. Posted 7 years ago

        Thanks for being sharp! As common courtesy, when challenging an existing ID, please do back up the claim and explain why you think it is wrong. Some people may get upset when being corrected without explanation :) Posted 7 years ago
