South American Lizard ID

Post by Sebastian K »

Hey Guys,
for some reason my old account wasn't active any more, but I have to admit I am more of a lurker than poster. Anyways I have been trying to determine the species (or at least genus) for this lizard for the last hour now...unsuccessfully. It was found on the western slopes of the Andes in Ecuador or Columbia. Any ideas to what it is?

Thanks so much in advance and happy herping,
Sebastian

just as a WAG I'd say a neonate of something in Gymnophthalmidae?

The reason your account didn't work is the forum crashed a while back and all info was lost! Welcome back.

I think your lizard is a galliwasp.
