Takydromus stejnegeri is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. The species is endemic to Taiwan. The specific name, stejnegeri, is in honor of Norwegian-American herpetologist Leonhard Stejneger. The preferred natural habitats of T. stejnegeri are grassland and rocky areas, at altitudes from sea level to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
The holotype of T. stejnegeri has a snout-to-vent length of 5.1 cm (2.0 in), and the tail is 18.4 cm (7.2 in) long. T. stejnegeri is oviparous. Cheng H-Y (1987). "The status of a lacertid lizard Takydromus stejnegeri Van Denburgh in Taiwan". Journal of Taiwan Museum 40 (2): 13–17.

No species of the same family or order lives in Taichung, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stejneger's Grass Lizard sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 22 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Stejneger's Grass Lizard in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in January–April, June–July and September–November, the lowest months. That is one of Taichung's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Stejneger's Grass Lizard sightings, Taichung has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stejneger's Grass Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Taichung (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
