About "Southern Tree Agama"
I was inspired to create this sculpture after seeing these beautiful creatures sunning themselves on the palm trees outside my house in Durban.
Edition of 10, 7 available for purchase.
This charismatic creature is often seen sunning itself on a tree or other prominent spots in the garden or wilderness. It is a large lizard (20 -35cm) with a fat belly, spiny body, narrow neck and well developed legs. With closer inspection these reptiles seem to have unusually long toes and wide strong looking jaws. Females and juveniles have cryptic, lichen coloured bodies with the breeding males displaying a conspicuously bright cobalt blue head.
They feed on a diversity of small insects including termites, but prefer flying insects. In the summer months the females can lay between 4- 14 eggs in a small hole which they dig in the ground. The eggs are then covered where they are left to incubate by the heat of the sun hatching after about 90 days.
Tree Agamas are commonly found from the Eastern Bushvelt down to the southern limits of coastal Kwa-Zulu/Natal.
