About Agama anchietae Bocage, 1896

This species is one of the more cryptically coloured members of the genus Agama, unlike more brightly coloured species such as Agama planiceps. Its cryptic colouration is linked to its relatively solitary lifestyle, while colourful species like A. planiceps are much more social by comparison.

Agama anchietae is oviparous, meaning it reproduces by laying eggs.
