A male Horvath's Rock Lizard looking from a rock crevice on Sneznik plateau in Northern Dinaric Mountains, Slovenia


This male was photographed just after mating, after he came from the crevice to inspect me. I found it on the eastern slopes of Sneznik (Snežnik) Mountain at approx. 1300 meters near Croatian border.
