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.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stejneger's Grass Lizard sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 30th most-seen of the 35 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stejneger's Grass Lizard in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May and July–March, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Stejneger's Grass Lizard sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stejneger's Grass Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Taipei (12 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.
