This is a picture of an enclosure that house a group of these lizards
He is not to happy with me taking his picture
Commonly referred to as cone head lizard or serrated casque head iguana, these beautiful lizards are endemic to the tropical rainforest of southern Mexico, and Honduras. These lizards, as you can see from the photographs, have lanky limbs, and very long tails. They are an arboreal species of lizard that rarely goes down to the ground.
Hello folks, this week we bring to you the ever so popular Pachydactylus rangei. Commonly referred to as Namibian webfoot geckos, these smaller geckos make excellent captives. They do well on sand, and their webbed feet help them navigate through it with ease. Not only are they very cool looking, they also have a pleasant demeanor. They are unusually calm, and truly enjoy digging, and burrowing in sand. I keep my colony in groups of 1.3, and get great results in regards to breeding, and egg laying. A very prolific, and hardy species for sure. Females can lay 2 egg clutches every 3 weeks or so, and can easily lay 8 or more clutches per season, no problem. Enjoy......
"Commonly" (a very relative term as they aren't commonly referred to at all) named the Green keel bellied lizard for all of you non Latin lovers (myself excluded there) are endemic to an Eastern portion of the African peninsula, Tanzania, as well as Kenya to be precise. They reside in the canopies of trees and therefore are not seen frequently, not only in the wild, but also in herp collections. Here are a few photos. Special thanks to Steve Cemelli from www.leapinleachies.com for the pictures taken without his knowledge :) enjoy! Here are some videos as well:
Here's the second vido, this guy recently finished eating a cricket. I tried to get a video of him eating, but it didn't go as planned. The video gives you a different perspective on the lizard none the less.
And here is a third video of them eating some prepared carniverous diet from a pair of tongs.
OK, thanks for tuning in everybody. I'm going to start the countdown with a velvet gecko species coming from Australia that was a very popular species in the hobby about 7 or so years back, but now I don't see many of these around at all. This is kind of sad because they are a brilliant gecko with stunning patterns and coloration. I had a small breeding group of these back when, so these pictures are a bit dated, but as you can see, they are brilliant geckos...Enjoy Oli
