I’m surprised I haven’t shared any photos of these lizards before. I am pretty sure they are Madagascar Three-Eyed Lizard (Chalarodon madagascariensis) and obviously get their name from that black spot on the back of their heads that look like a third eye. I remember these little lizards being very skittish and hard to photograph, but I would see them every day as I walked up and down the path between the huts and the eating area when I was staying in Andava.
