Name
Bronchocela cristatella (Kuhl, 1820) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Notes
This striking green-coloured and diurnal lizard is active during the day and can be commonly found in open areas on bushes and trees from 1 to 3 m above the ground. On 2 April 2019, eight individuals were observed and a specimen was collected from Pantai Pasir Pengkalan. Two large individuals were seen climbing up to 3 m high on a tree near Pantai Pasir Tenggara . All examples on Bidong Island match the diagnosis of this species by Grismer (2011b)[1].
Distribution
This agamid also occurs on Perhentian Besar, Perhentian Kecil, Pulau Lang Tengah as well as Redang islands (Grismer 2011b[1]; Grismer et al. 2011[2], 2015[3]).
