Ok, the Rules are Simple. You type in a Discription of a species of Lizard and we all have to guess what it it based on your discription. When they get it right, you quote them and put the common name and the Latin name of the species along with a picture that you give credit to the site where it was found. Sound Fun? I'll go first

I am a large lizard native to the Philippines. I am very rare and due to habitat distruction Nearly nobody can find me. I feed primarily on Crustation and other small inverts but I have one habbit that seperates me from the rest of my large meat eating cousins. I am also the only frugivore of them!!! Think you can find me? Look up in the air and remain still for hours by a certain fruit bearing tree and may come out to eat!!! I may reach close to 6 1/2' making me one of the largest in Asia!!! I am almost entirely Aboreal....What am I?
