Weber's sailfin lizard or Halmahera sailfin dragon (Hydrosaurus weberi), is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Indonesia.
H. weberi is only found on Halmahera and Ternate Islands of Maluku. [2] [3]
H. weberi has a life-span of between 10 and 15 years. [4]
H. weberi is the smallest of the three recognized species of Hydrosaurus , attaining an average total length (including tail) of 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m).[ citation needed ]
H. weberi is omnivorous; devouring whatever animal it can overpower plus consuming a variety of vegetation and fruit.[ citation needed ]
In captivity, juveniles of H. weberi are usually maintained on a 60% insect / 40% vegetation diet. Adults consume approximately 75% vegetation and 25% insects and other non-vegetation life.[ citation needed ]
The specific name, weberi, is in honor of German-Dutch zoologist Max Wilhelm Carl Weber van Bosse. [5]
Seipp's day gecko is an endangered diurnal species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to northern Madagascar, typically inhabits rainforests, dwells on trees, and feeds on insects and nectar.
Hydrosaurus, commonly known as the sailfin dragons or sailfin lizards, is a genus in the family Agamidae. These relatively large lizards are named after the sail-like structure on their tails. They are native to Indonesia and the Philippines where they are generally found near water, such as rivers and mangrove. Sailfin lizards are semiaquatic and able to run short distances across water using both their feet and tail for support, similar to the basilisks. They are threatened by both habitat loss and overcollection for the wild animal trade.

Hydrosaurus pustulatus, commonly known as the Philippine sailfin lizard or the Philippine sailfin dragon, is a large semiaquatic agamid lizard endemic to all of the major island groups of the Philippines, with the exception of the Palawan islands. Like other sailfin lizards, they are characterized by large sail-like dorsal crests on their tails. They can grow to a maximum length of around 3 to 4 ft. They are strong swimmers, and smaller juvenile lizards can run briefly on the water surface. They inhabit areas of heavy vegetation near coastlines and low-lying rivers, particularly in mangrove forests. They are also known locally as layagan or balubid in Tagalog and ibid in the Visayan languages, among other names.

The Sulawesi black sailfin lizard is a species of agamid native to Indonesia. It is the second largest species of sailfin dragon, with only the Sulawesi giant sailfin dragon being larger., exceeding 1000 mm in total length, possibly 1200 mm. Head, neck, gular region and shoulder completely black; a row of enlarged flat, sometimes conical scales on either side of the neck; nuchal and dorsal crests continuous; a group of dirty white enlarged flat scales on the anterior part of the dorsum; few (<10) additional enlarged scales approximately at midbody and before the hindlimbs. Dorsal colouration is typically yellowish, sometimes dark orange, interspersed with black spots; ventrally beige, limbs black with a few yellow spots; scales under fourth and fifth toes are broad with several keels from near the base of the toe; tail black, sail black or dark violet with black stripes.
The Indonesian giant sailfin dragon is a species of agamid native to South Sulawesi Indonesia. It is the heaviest and longest species of sailfin lizard, making it the largest of all the Agamidae. It is often mistaken for H. amboinensis because of the incorrect information of Hydrosaurus amboinensis being the largest of the sailfin dragons.
