These were spotted in Sinharaja Forest reserve in Sri Lanka on 14th/15th February and I was wondering if anyone could identify them. I think the first may be Calotes Versicolor. Thanks, Phil

I'd suggest posting on iNat to confirm but my thoughts are - green garden lizard, whistling lizard (not at all sure about this one) and Boulenger's bronzeback but I have only seen the first species.

I agree with the first. The other lizard looks like the SL Kangaroo lizard. I struggled with the snakes. Saw Kukri and the Bronzeback but found distinguishing them tricky.
