Calotes mystaceus, the Indo-Chinese forest lizard or blue crested lizard, is an agamid lizard found in China, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Physical Structure: Upper head-scales smooth or feebly keeled, imbricate, scarcely enlarged on supraorbital region; a few small spines on each side of the head above the tympanum; latter measuring at least half the diameter of the orbit. Gular sac small; gular scales feebly keeled, as large as dorsals. An oblique fold in front of the shoulder. Dorso-nuchal crest well developed in the male, composed of falciform spines directed backwards, the longest measuring the diameter of the orbit; it gradually decreases in height on the back, being reduced to a mere denticulation on the sacrum. 45-53 scales round the middle of the body; dorsal scales keeled, nearly twice as large as ventrals, all directed upwards and backwards; ventral scales strongly keeled. The adpressed hind limb reaches the tympanum or the posterior border of the orbit; fourth finger slightly longer than the third. Tail a little compressed, at the base with a slightly serrated upper ridge.

No species of the same family or order lives in Yangon, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Myanmar Blue Crested Lizard sighting in Yangon on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Myanmar Blue Crested Lizard in Yangon on a given day, against about 10% in May and December–February, the lowest months. That is one of Yangon's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 280 mm in July.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Myanmar Blue Crested Lizard sightings, Yangon has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Myanmar Blue Crested Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Yangon (15 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.
