As I opened the garden gate this morning this Blue Headed Tree Agama gave me quite fright as it jumped off the gate and on to the pole fence - missing me by inches. Can you imagine the hysterics if it had landed on me with those long nails digging into my skin? I would probably have slapped myself silly to try and get it off me! (and dropped my camera in the process!)
The look in that eye tells me it is probably thinking "I tried but I missed - WHY didn't I land on her?? "
This has to be the same one I photographed in February. It had a rather bad injury on the upper mouth where the white patch can be seen. It seems to have healed up nicely and although the upper 'lip' still seems raw, it might just be because there are no scales to cover it. Judging by the increase in size it has to be eating well. The February photo can be seen by clicking on the link directly below the photo.
