The forest green lizard (Calotes calotes) is large among the lizard species measuring 50–65 cm, from its head to tail. This lizard, as its name suggests, has a bright green dorsal color with 5–6 cream or deep green transverse stripes. These stripes continue to its tail. During the breeding season, the male lizard’s head and throat will turn bright red, while the underside of its body turns pale green. Attribution S S Suresh
