I found and photographed this lizard in the Negev Desert, close to Eilat right at the Egypt border in March, but can't put a name on it. No, I don't have a herp guide to the area. Thanks.

I also photographed and saw many of these, but I think it is Acanthodactylus boskianus

the first 2 pictures are Trapelus mutabilis pallidus (or T. agnetae, as it is called by others).

the lizard is Acanthodactylus boskianus for sure

Nice photos!

Have you seen only these two lizards?
