Abronia graminea, commonly known as the Mexican alligator lizard, is a vibrant, arboreal reptile native to the cloud forests of Mexico. It has bright green scales, a prehensile tail, and a striking resemblance to miniature dragons. Its habitat includes high humidity and dense foliage.

Abronia graminea, commonly known as the Mexican alligator lizard, is native to the mountainous regions of southern Mexico, particularly within the states of Veracruz and Puebla. It inhabits the cloud forests and montane regions within these areas.

The typical habitat of Abronia graminea includes humid, subtropical to montane cloud forests with dense canopy cover. These regions are characterized by high humidity, frequent mist and fog, and moderate to cool temperatures. The elevation range for these habitats is typically between 1,200 and 2,600 meters above sea level.

Abronia graminea is an arboreal species, primarily dwelling in the trees and shrubs within its forest habitat. It is adapted to a life among the foliage, where it feeds on insects and other small invertebrates. The species plays a role in controlling insect populations and potentially serves as prey for larger predators, maintaining ecological balance.
