Lehmann's Agama is a fascinating lizard known for its adaptability to various environments.

Photography tips:
To photograph Lehmann's Agama, it is advisable to use a 400mm lens or longer to capture details without getting too close.

Natural morning or afternoon light can provide the best conditions to capture their colors and textures.
