I snuck up on him and took a few pics. He opened his eyes after the first couple of shots. I am sure you know who he is? Malaysia. Great Angle-head lizard (Gonocephalus grandis), male.

Some really good work here. Like No.6 the best. The little guy in the last shot doesn't look too pleased to see you

Thanks. I don't blame him. I wouldn't be happy either if someone woke me up in the middle of the night :P

Bit worried about the name false blood sucker though, does that mean some lizards do suck blood ?
Brian v.

Thanks, Brian. This one is False Blood Sucker (Pseudocalotes). There's a real (original) blood sucker (Calotes versicolor). However, they don't suck blood at all!

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

it is known in Ceylon under the name of "Bloodsucker", a designation the origin of which cannot be satisfactorily traced; in the opinion of Kelaart, the name was given to it from the occasional reddish hue of the throat and neck.
