Theobald's toad-headed agama, also called the snow lizard, is an agamid endemic to Asia. Its type locality is Lake Tso Moriri in Ladakh. It is found in eastern Turkestan, India (Kashmir and Ladakh), Nepal and western China, in desert, grassland and shrubland habitat at altitudes of 2,700 to 4,200m (Wikipedia, general species account).
It gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs. That is the only breeding information in the sources opened. Nothing on size, diet or behaviour was found, so none is stated.
