Name: The bright green color and keeled scales of the Gastropholis prasina give credence to their common name: the green keel-bellied lizard. This mostly arboreal species from the coastal forests of Mozambique, Tanzania, and Kenya, has a very impressively long prehensile tail.
Size: Green keel-bellied lizards are a long and slender lizard with impressively long prehensile tails. As adults, they can range between 10-16 inches long with tails. Hatchlings are around 3 to 5 inches.
Age: Green keel-bellied lizards are at least 4 weeks old when sold by Josh’s Frogs, at which time they are well established. It is estimated that these lizards live for around 10-15 years in captivity.
Sexing: Compared to females, males will develop far more exaggerated pores with age.
Color/Pattern: This species exhibits a very bright green color; however, stressed out individuals will take on darker shades of green with bluish tints. The scales on its back are small, smooth and green, whereas the scales on its belly are yellow-green and keeled.
