Takydromus tachydromoides (Japanese grass lizard) is a wall lizard species of the genus Takydromus. It is found in Japan. Its Japanese name is 'kanahebi' (カナヘビ). 'Hebi' means 'snake' in Japanese, although this lizard is not a snake. There are three lizards found in the four main islands of Japan. The other two are the Japanese Gekko (also, Schlegel's Japanese Gekko, Gekko japonicus), and the Japanese Five-lined Skink (Eumeces latiscutatus, also Plestiodon latiscutatus; this skink shows five lines only as a juvenile).[1]
