Green tree skink. This is a direct descendant from prehistoric lizards which measured over 30ft.

The green blood is caused by the bile which usually breaksdown old bloodcells, but in the Prasinohema genus it is stored in the blood as a deterrent to predators.
Beside showing a startling green tongue, the pigment tastes absolutely vile so no predator would eat one of these twice..
