Chameleon, extremely rare in Europe this one is closer to the African race Chamaeleo africanus than the european one, though it may turn out to be another race altogether, it is very similair to the ones found in Egypt, funnily enough an Egyption Queen married and lived in the Pelloponese four thousand years ago, so may have brought this race with them.
They are very rare away from the coastal strip the females return in July the males August, they lay about 50 eggs in the sand which are incubated by the sun for about a year.
I found this one on my first morning and then never saw another for the whole two weeks.
