It seems like every time you turn around in Malaysia you run into another fantastic arboreal lizard. Some have crazy scale patterns. Some come in neon-bright colors. Some have incredibly long tails and garish eye makeup. Some are just crazy overall. This species settled for a crazy crest and the world's bluest eyes.

My Travelogues and Trip Lists page includes a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on this trip to Malaysia, as well as a travelogue of the trip.

Only the adult males have the blue eyes though. Little ones (as here) and females are still fine-looking lizards, but not quite so exciting.

Little ones are very similar to little Gonocephalus borneensis, but some details of the scales on the face distinguish them.

One of my two most common sayings about lizards is "any day with a horned lizard is a good day". The other is "any place with lizards in the trees is a good place". Borneo is definitely a good place.

This must be a subadult male whose eyes have started transforming into the brilliant blue of a fully grown male.
