is a diurnal lizard fully adapted to harsh terrestrial habits such as dry sandy coasts. In the morning, around 07000800 h it mostly lies on rocks, fallen logs or shrubs, and as it warms up, it becomes active and begins its search for food. In the middle of the day, when it is hottest, it tends to hide inside small shrubs. We observed some individuals digging small sand pits near the root of the shrub in order to escape the heat. There is an annual temperature of between 30 o C and 35 o C (mean 32 o C), while the humidity varies between around 4050% (mean 45%).

). Before combat (attacking stage) and prior to mating, they extend and stretch their throat-fans very quickly (about 46 times per second). Simultaneously, they swivel their heads and open their dark blue coloured mouths in a threat pose to their male opponents. During combat (struggling stage), they mostly use their hind limbs to kick at their opponent. Most often the territorial fighting involved a certain amount of harsh savagery (savaging stage), and the animals often end up with wounded body parts, with particular damage to the face, limbs and posterior body parts.
