Holaspis is a genus of wall lizard in the family Lacertidae found in Sub-Saharan Africa. They are capable of gliding flight, due to their bubbly light bone structure.[1] They are predatory arboreal small lizards that eat small insects. They are occasionally kept as pets.[2] Females may be slightly less ornately colored than the males. Neither gender grows larger than 12 cm.
