A pilot in Chennai was lucky enough to capture on camera the rare sight of an Oriental garden lizard laying eggs in his garden. Srinivasan Ramesh was taking a walk in his garden on Saturday when he came across the reptile laying eggs. Mr Ramesh, who is a retired commander from the Navy, was quick enough to whip out his phone and capture a video of the scene.
The video shows the lizard, green and brown in colour, laying eggs into a small hole in the ground. The rare footage was captured by Mr Ramesh in the garden of his home at Tambaram in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The Oriental garden lizard is also known as the eastern garden lizard or the changeable lizard.These lizards can change their colour, which gives them their scientific name Calotes versicolor.
