SINAI AGAMID LIZARD (Agama sinaita)  -  ©Garysspace — Great shot Gary! The Sinai Agama is an agamid lizard. It is common in deserts around the Red sea. The length of the lizard is up to 25 cm, tail up to two thirds of the total length. The limbs and tail are long and thin and provide good climbing and running skills. Unlike other Agama species, the third (middle) toe is the longest instead of the fourth. Agama sinaita is active during daytime and feeds on insects and other arthropods and plants. While in heat, the colour of the male turns to striking blue to attract females. The female adopts brownish-red spots.
