A little fun.
Can you name the species?
If no right guesses, I’ll drop a few hints. Winner gets a virtual high-five.

I think that it is a tree monitor but it’s head looks to vividly blue to be a blue tree monitor, so I will just go with a blue tree monitor…

Edit * I think it is a baby blue tree monitor!!!

All good guesses… @eaglereptiles is technically correct and wins this round. “Italian Wall Lizard” > (Podarcis sicula klemmeri) Very rare species in the US. This next one will be a little easier.

Next…
Hint: this species is native to the New World (the Americas.)

Excellent, great answer. Chuckwalla (Sauromalus ater), native to the southwestern United States.

Let’s see if we can keep this roll going…

Wild guess, gilla monster. The color reminds of one I saw on internet.

Yay! :partying_face:

A month ago I would have had no idea, but lately I have been working on 100s of different species… Which means trawling through 1000s upon 1000s of ads on MorphMarket…

A side fact:
These guys have a strange morphology, certain “morphs” are directly linked to the immune system. I’m not exactly sure of the specific details yet though, that’s all I’ve got for now.

And Wow! @lumpy you smashed that one!

Amazing work @varanexan

@lumpy , @wmb1965 > Hint: This species is native to northwest Australia.

Quite an interesting note, and I raise you one: the blue coloration of P. s. klemmeri is actually a unique form of melanism. And kudos on expanding on your knowledge of species diversity.

Correct, Varanus pilbarensis (Pilbara rock monitor) Great work once again.

I may make this a little more challenging tomorrow, but with a twist. More participants the better, so if anyone else is following this thread, keep an eye out.
