Scientific name: Anolis sagrei

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.

Location: Jurong Lake Garden, February 2023
