About Takydromus sexlineatus Daudin, 1802
Takydromus sexlineatus, commonly called the Asian grass lizard, six-striped long-tailed grass lizard, or long-tailed grass lizard, is an arboreal, diurnal lizard species. In this species, tail length is usually over three times the snout-to-vent (body) length. On average, individuals reach around 12 cm (4.7 in) in snout-to-vent length, plus a distinctive, prehensile long tail. Males and females have similar appearances, but males can be told apart by their pre-anal pores. Some individuals may have small circular spots on the sides of their bodies. Like many lizard species, long-tailed grass lizards can drop their tail and grow a new one when attacked. This lizard is often kept as a pet. Takydromus sexlineatus is found across Southeast Asia, and is native to multiple countries including India, China, Thailand, and Indonesia. The subspecies T. s. ocellatus occurs in areas such as southern China, northern Burma, and northern Malaysia.
