About Adolfus jacksoni (Boulenger, 1899)

Adolfus jacksoni, commonly known as Jackson's forest lizard, is a species of lizard belonging to the family Lacertidae. This species is native to East Africa. A. jacksoni is geographically distributed across Burundi, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its preferred natural habitat is forest at altitudes ranging from 450 to 3,000 m (1,480 to 9,840 ft), and it can tolerate some degree of human disturbance to its habitat. A. jacksoni reproduces via oviparity, with clutch sizes ranging from three to five eggs. Large communal nests of this species have been documented, and these nesting sites are reused across nesting seasons.
