Featured Subspecies: Eutropis multifasciata multifasciata
Weight: ? / Length: 35cm
NO UK STATUS / IUCN Red List: Least Concern
This species was seen as we walked the open-air War Musuem of Cambodia; a simple little lizard slinking througgh the leaf litter, surrounded by the remnants of tools of death. They're a fairly common species with a substantial range, but it's appearance in this particular somber place was welcome; a little dash of life in a place created so we never forget the death.
