Stellagama stellio (Agama Lizard sp.)

Description:

Stellagama stellio is found in Greece, Southwest Asia, and Northeast Africa.
There are currently seven subspecies that are recognized as being valid.
The ones occurring on the Greek Islands are S. s. stellio and S. s. daani.
S. s. stellio is more colourful than S. s. daani; In S. s. daani the top of the head is blackish grey, similar to the back, while in S. s. stellio the back of the head is yellow to red.
In S. s. daani the throat is mostly abundantly spotted with black, and only rarely marbled.
In contrast, S. s. stellio is characterized by an unspotted, at most weakly marbled, throat.
