Appearance
Mountain grass lizard is a petite reptile with a slender body and elongated tail, which often doubles the entire body length. It has smooth, transparent skin in hues of yellowish-tan to green. Notably, males exhibit a vibrant green colouration along their sides. Mountain grass lizard lacks distinct patterns, but does display faded dark lines along their body, providing a form of camouflage. It does not have wings or horns, but its narrow legs end in small, clawed feet.
