What part of Vietnam?

I think it's Calotes versicolor but I'm not completely certain. I believe there is more than one species of Calotes in Vietnam and think they even have described a new species in the North.

C. versicolor has a huge range and is a highly variable species. I just don't know enough about them to say that the specimen pictured falls within the natural variation of C. versicolor or is an entirely different species altogether.

My wife is from Vietnam. I'll ask her if she saw those growing up.
