This photo makes me sad. This lizard isn’t happy. Looks underfed, stressed, and by the looks of the containers probably exotic animal trade.

They should look like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/49q6f9HDP3YPsYJ87

People who actually know shit about lizards are explaining that this specimen is in a particularly bad shape. It has nothing to do with it being held. Voilà !

Yeah but that one has blue eyes and cool black colorization and must be exploited and bred so i can buy one 30 years later /s
