About Ctenotus labillardieri (Duméril & Bibron, 1839)

Ctenotus labillardieri has reddish brown legs that are boldly marbled with black. It has an uninterrupted pale dorsolateral stripe, and its ventral surfaces are yellow. This species can reach a maximum snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 7.5 cm (3.0 in). Ctenotus labillardieri is native to southwestern Western Australia, including several of the region’s offshore islands. Its preferred natural habitats are forest, shrubland, and freshwater wetlands, and it occurs at altitudes ranging from sea level up to 1,095 m (3,593 ft). Ctenotus labillardieri reproduces by laying eggs, meaning it is oviparous.
