This photo shows the lizard's pineal eye, which is also called a parietal eye, or third eye. It appears as a small oval gray dent in a centerline scale on top of the lizard's head. If you can imagine a line across the lizard's head from there rear of one eye to the rear of the other eye, the pineal eye will be behind that imaginary line, in the center of its head.
