Description They are terrestrial lizards, meaning that they live on the ground rather than in the trees. They often make their homes in deep burrows, which they dig themselves. Their tail is long and characterized by slightly keeled scales. The scales on the body are very small and resemble grains of sand. They lack a crest and gular pouch, although they do exhibit a wide gular fold. Femoral pores are present on the males. The back of the Butterfly Agama is grey or olive green, and the sides are yellow or red with black stripes.
