Along with the various arachnid and roach species I keep, I also have a fairly extensive collection of lizards and geckos. Anyone else?

Since the mods have not appreciated my ads in the classifieds section before I might also mention I have numerous Anolis species available for sale, but PM me for varieties/prices- they're not inverts so wont be advertised in the classifieds section (though some people do run non-invert ads).

Aboreal lizards have been alot fo fun for me to keep, and the fact they are day- active makes them even better.

So if you keep lizards or geckos (diurnal or otherwise)- ad a post! I'll try to get some decent photos later today....

Cheers!

Wow, you do have some beautiful lizards!

Some of those are entirely new to me.

Other than Mediterranean Geckos, I only have one Northern Blue Tongue Skink. I love him so much, haha. I'll edit this post with pictures later.

What species of lizard is that second from the top and the gecko on the bottom with the spots...

The second one from the top in the group of photos you replied to is a Phrycus marmoratus which is similar to the anoles.

The photo on the bottom is not a gecko. It is an anole. Specifically a male Anolis occulatus winstoni.

;)

Thanks for the comments!

You should post a photo! I used to have U.fimbriatus and still have an appreciation for them. Have even considered getting back into Uroplatus again...I like most of them... tend to lean towards the U.lineatus lately...

Some of ours

Those are some beautiful lizards you have. I'll probably be contacting you soon to pick some up. We have 3 main lizards projects we're working with: Varanus (V. yuwonoi, V. acanthurus, and V. tristis), Tiliqua (T. scincoides intermedia), and Xenosauridae (Shinisaurus crocodilurus and Xenosaurus grandis). We have a couple other projects too that we've incorporated as we've expanded.

V. yuwonoi (Very shy so recent pics are not of great quality)


V. acanthurus (Pics of adults on moving day)

V. tristis


T. scincoides intermedia (Ummm......)


Shinisaurus crocodilurus


Xenosaurus grandis (New arrivals. Still in quarantine cages)


Uromastyx flavofasciata (Couldn't resist these little goblins. He's been put on a lower fat diet since this pic)


My wife's new project: (I think she's cooking a couple dozen eggs now.)

Sweet Anolis!

Matt, it's been a long while, but are those Knight Anoles in one of the pics? Some years ago when I lived in Ft Lauderdale/Dania, I'd drive all over between there and Miami + northward looking for all kinds of herps. In Dania, there were some good localities for Green Iguana, Brown Basilisk, and Mexican spinytailed Iguana. Hispaniolan Curly-tails had a colony near DelRay/Boca Raton. Corn Snakes were often dime-a-dozen during evening road cruises. The most interesting from memory were the Knight Anoles near Coconut Grove. I only saw 'em once but distinctly remember a Cuban woman telling me that if you approached near with a green water hose, they'd open their mouth and throw out the big white throat fan- in protest of the "fake snake". Cool pix. Terry

Correction: N. Curlytail

Oops, Like I said it's been a long time. Over 20 years. I remeber the curlytails were actually northern after keying out an indiv after getting it home. The colony was closer to town of Delray Beach in a bunch of pipes in an industrial machine shop yard. T

@ rollinkansas - I have a couple of those- I really like the Sphaerodactylus and Gonatodes, but don't have such good luck breeding them for some reason- difficult for me to get results on that. NICE photos of yours though!

@ Terry D- no, I don't keep Knight anoles. The other giant species I have are Anolis baracoae 'blue form', Anolis smallwoodi, and Anolis persparsus, which are all large and shaped kind of like the Cuban Kight (Anolis equestris) but not the same thing otherwise.

You have my email address now(I was bugging you about marmoratus and such) and I can help with the sphaeros at least for breeding. Gonatodes, I never had steady luck.
