Last Observed: December 2015, Koh Chang
Observed By: Parinya Pawangkhanant
This fierce looking lizard sports a black mask-like marking around its eyes as well as a crest of yellow spines down its neck and back and intricately patterned scale markings.
It is apparently a very local species to Koh Chang being found only in Eastern Thailand and the Cardamom Mountains of Western Cambodia (hence the name Cardomomensis). It is also a relatively newly discovered species and we’re certainly lucky to have it as a fellow Koh Chang resident.
