This lizard can be spotted from April to the end of September. It then hibernates throughout the winter. It hunts in densely vegetated areas and mainly feeds on insects and invertebrates.It is sexually dimorphic: males have a bright blue colouring on the throat and sides of the head during the breeding season. It mates in around May. Males engage in fights in which they may lose their tail, although this has no consequence, as it grows back.
