Unknown Lizards
I still have heaps of photos from my trip to Laos. Here are two lizards that I spotted in the hills while I was tracking. One looks to me like a skink.The other is a gecko of some kind.
i just happened to look back at your posts and chanced upon this unknown lizards post. i'm not sure what kind of skink it is.my guess would be a juvenile common sun skink. for the 2nd lizard it's most definitely a juvenile changeable lizard instead of an earless agamid.reason being the earless agamid has a shorter, flatter snout as compared to the one in the picture.
well the Changeable Lizard is actually a feral lizard that came from countries north of Singapore like Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos.and was introduced to Singapore in the 1980's.of which it has pretty much ousted our very beautiful native Green Crested Lizards.
The other is a gecko of some kind.

That is not a gecko, it seems to be a Earless Agamid.
The first one is a skink, I was talking about the second lizard. Yeah I think it is earless agamid. Nice shots.
Thanks Shawn

Hi Shao Wei, I'm not sure what these lizards are. They are from Laos not Singapore.
