The photo defentily does not do it justice. It is stunning.

I rescued it out of froot loop's swimming pool.

I agree with you Pinky. Dracula can go to sleep in comparison to those teeth. :lol: :lol:

Neboo, you probably have a Southern Tree Agama there, they look very similar.
I agree with BB, it's colours were much more striking when she first found it. Tat is going to release it back into the rocks today.
