It’s not native, introduced to Singapore, most likely by being unintentionally brought in with plants for Gardens by the Bay, I saw quite a few of them during my assignment to take photos of plants and animals at Garden by The Bay.
It means this small lizard has been spread to many places in Singapore as I can see them at Jurong Lake Garden.

The event was conducted at an Active SG Park, Jurong Lake Gardens. Minister Desmond Lee kicked off the event at 7.30 in the morning, introducing this Bird Watching activity and encouraging families to explore Nature, as there are many natural places in Singapore.

My Group was led by Wing Chong, an experienced birder. I really love how he introduces the birds with a story, which was really interesting and we will easily remember the birds he mentioned because of those stories.
