[/QUOTE] Balkan Wall Lizard (Podarcis tauricus) does not occur in Croatia, whereas Italian Wall Lizard (P. siculus) does. I agree with WW. Jeroen Speybroeck http://www.hylawerkgroep.be/jeroen/

Podarcis siculus campestrisis certainly moving down the coast with the Adriatic Highway and also in movement of boxes and plant in large pots but did not think it had got that far south of Makarska but with movement by human trade you never know.
