They can grow up to 15 inches long, including their tail, which makes up about two-thirds of their body length.
Green Lizards are excellent climbers and can often be found basking in the sun on rocks, walls, or tree trunks.
Their diet primarily consists of insects like crickets, grasshoppers, and beetles, but they also eat spiders and sometimes fruit.
