April 10, 20233 yr This morning, while cleaning my patio, I found this beauty. But a bunch of ants had murdered him/her before she could cross my patio. It was about 40cm long when I found it. It looks like some kind of dragon, but I don't know anything about tropic animals. So, if somebody can tell me what kind of animal it was (before dying) and some details about it, I would like to hear it. TIA

April 10, 20233 yr May have been a Forest Crested Lizard. The spots look similar to this one: https://www.thailex.info/THAILEX/THAILEXENG/LEXICON/Indochinese Forest or Blue Crested Lizard (Calotes mystaceus) กิ้งก่าหัวสีฟ้า.htm
April 10, 20233 yr If you leave it there you will see a bright white skeleton laid out where the lizard currently lies once the ants take away everything except the bones - they work fast. It will likely be a shiny white pure skeleton by tomorrow. I saw one in the garden here myself. Ants definitely didn't kill it - birds or cat.

I love cats but they will decimate every lizard in the garden (geckos incl) ..and anything else that they can lay their paws on
