Profile
Scientific name:	Takydromus Sauteri
Common name:	Sauteri grass lizard, Gu Mou (in Taiwanese pronunciation) Snake

Features:	Sauteri's grass lizard has a slender body and a forked tongue. Its maximum length is about 6cm long with its tail, which can be up to four times longer than the rest of its body, accounting for most of that length. Females, which are larger than males, are bright or dark green for the entire length of their upper bodies, while males are greenish in the front half and brownish in the back half.
Behavior:	Sauteri's grass lizards are diurnal reptiles that feed primarily on insects and other small invertebrates. They are active in the Chinese silver grass surrounding forests during the day and rest on the Chinese silver grass and other plants at night. Their tails are detachable, and females usually lay four to six eggs a clutch.
Habitat:	Sauteri's grass lizards are endemic to Taiwan and are more populous in the southern part of the island, with a very stable population on Green Island. Their habitat range extends from flatlands to areas up to 1000m in altitude.
