In common with other lacertids, Bosk’s fringe-toed lizard
(Acanthodactylus boskianus) has a long, cylindrical body and well
developed legs. It is one of the largest Acanthodactylus species, a
genus commonly referred to as the fringe-toed lacertids, owing to the
presence of a series of scales on the fingers that provide traction for
running over loose sand. The general body colour of this species ranges
from darkish or silvery grey, to yellow or reddish brown, with seven
contrasting dark, brown longitudinal stripes that run the length of the
back. With age, these stripes generally fade away or become grey in
colour.
