Posted: 02 Jul 2008 Hi , Well I don't know exact species (Someone here will) , But it definitely looks like an agamid of some kind to me. I would expect it to need a substrate of sand ,rocks and gravel mixed. A basking lamp at one end where the temp under the lamp should be around 30-32c Sorry I can't help more until someone gives a definite id All the best, Al O-> O+> |

Posted: 02 Jul 2008 I does look like an Agamid in the photo, but I believe there are no Agamids in the Americas? Maybe a Sceloporus species? James. |
