This is the spiny tailed lizzard or " dhub" ( uromastix microlepis ). Near Riyadh , Saudi Arabia .
Not a stamped card sent to me by Maher ( thank you ) .
Maher wrote that the dhub is one of the most famous Arabian lizzards (?!).
Arabs have fun chasing them and they eat them too ( A recipe I wouldn't like to have ). This reptiles are very active under the hot Arabian sun and temperatures +50C but it becomes dull if it happens to be in a chilly place ( put it under an air-condition ). Moreover they do not drink water at all . Maher said so at least , he should know better :)
what a handsome fella! <3
