18 May 2021.  9 am. Yio Chu Kang Crescent secondary forest.

An Oriental Garden Lizard scurried away from me as I walked towards the chained entrance to the YCK Crescent secondary forest after parking my car. I didn't expect to see any on the grass, but he spotted me first and scurried away. His movement caught my attention.

The oriental garden lizard, eastern garden lizard, Indian garden lizard, common garden lizard, bloodsucker, or changeable lizard (Calotes versicolor) is an agamid lizard found widely distributed in indo-Malaya.
