Yeah, he only did it after I sat there for a long time. Every time I moved a bit to get closer, the dewlap would shrink again, till I was sitting still long enough for this shot

Lizards are pretty shy but unlike most critters if you're slow moving usually they wont find you threatening.

Yeah, still a lot of the iguanas we have here will jump into the water when you are like 100 feet away
Anoles I can usually get close to
