Mountain Horned Dragons (Acanthosaura)




They are insectivorous which means they depend on insect as their primary diet.

It also has a reputation of becoming docile and calm once acclimatised to its surroundings.


Normally preferring to dwell high on trees, this specimen I encountered seem to have chosen a more adventurous path.
