Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Adolfus vauereselli -- Sparse-scaled Forest Lizard. I'm going with this rather than A. africanus because: There appear to be >24 midbody scale rows; The dorsal scales appear to be smooth; and the colouration also appears to more closely fit this species (e.g. presence of small white ocelli on flanks, dark dorsal spots forming a weak vertebral band, and lack of green colouration).
