Fast growth and maturity of Takydromus viridipunctatus demonstrated by recapture records. a Among the 1610 individuals which were first captured as juveniles, over 91% of them (1465) reached sex maturity within one year. b Among a total of 710 newly hatched neonates (SVL smaller than 32.97 mm) which survived to adults, over 87% of them reached maturity within one year. Since the duration of two (or more) capture events relies on the premise that an individual should be successfully recaptured, the maturity speed could be under-estimated (faster, but not slower) in this figure
