About: Jacky Lizards are active during the day and are often seen basking on logs or fallen branches. Their diet consists of a wide range of small arthropods.

Jacky lizards are very swift lizards and like many other dragons (Agamidae), the Jacky lizard will sometimes run in an almost upright position on its hind legs when pursued.
