Uperodon cf. obscurus
—
undescribed species
My naturalist guide Udaya Chanaka took numerous photos of this individual in order to record the belly coloring, webbing, etc. He sent them to a herpetologist he has studied with, who thought that this is an undescribed species. Since it looks very similar to Uperodon obscurus, which is known from this area, I'm calling it Uperodon cf. obscurus until/unless I learn more.
