Feamale Agama sinaita

Agama sinaita is common in deserts offshores of the Red sea.

The length of the lizard is up to 25 cm, tail up to two thirds of the total length. The limbs and tail are long and thin and provide good climbing and running skils. Unlike other Agama speicies, the third (middle) toe is the longest instead of the fourth.

Agama sinaita is active during daytime and feeds from insects and other Arthropods and plants.

While in heat, the color of the mail turns to strikking blue in order to attract feamales. The feamale adopts brownish-red spots.
