Hi,
A friend gave me this lizard and called it an argus monitor, but having never owned an argus, and looking at images of them, this seems to be a different species. What do you think?

Late to the party by a few years, but I'd say Mangrove.

I found this little guy under a chair on our pack patio. I thought he was sick or dying, as he hadn't budged from that spot for days...but today I nudged him gently and he hopped away easily, showing no signs of illness or injury. I'm hoping you guys can ID him, and maybe advise me on if he need helps or to just leave him be. Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!

I am contiplating a trade for a "blue spot" savannah. Yes the spots do appear blue but does anybody know if this is a proven trait? And if anybody has any idea how much they may be worth that would be awesome. I have knowledge of monitors just not morphs.
Thanks,
Jgermany

Sorry! No pics.
I found 2 mole skinks about 10 yrs ago in Palatka, Fl.
They we're almost black with a thin cream stripe on either side of the body.
The tail was hot pink!
I can't find any mole skinks in that range with pink tails.
Anybody know?

In case you're still wondering (over nine months later).....it was probably a Plestiodon ssp. with a regenerated tail.

This little guy has been living outside my home for about 8 years now. I finally had an chance to snap a picture of him. Anyone know what species of lizard this is ?

In November my boyfriend and I went out to the garage. On the side we saw the tiniest gecko ever, he totally blended into the wall. He was at that time just a few days old. Now he has grown larger and I believe he is big enough and his colors developed enough that some one may be able to identify him. He is about three months old. Any guesses?

Oh yeah, he doesn't make any noises, he's nocturnal, and he has sticky pads on his feet.

I saw this cute little one in Petco in a cage that said "Assorted Ameiva". She (I am assuming female because of the coloration and the thin tail base) was the only one in the enclosure, and very active.
Here are two additional pictures. Sorry for the quality, they were only taken with a cell phone.

I bought a pair of these lizzards only because they where amazingly colorful and very neat. But I honestly dont know what they are. Was told they where four toed whiptails but I cant find any info online about them. Help!!
Was told they where a paraguay native species. They are long, look like a tegu swift cross but with very vibrant greens and blues.
Reply by Ingo — 2011-12-28 09:26:56 GMT
Sounds like you bought a pair of Teius teyou.
Using this name, you will find limited info.
Can be a little delicate....

Can anyone tell me how much he understands, how much he sees, etc. Is there any published information about his capabilites to bond with me. Thank you for any help.Kathy

Sorry for the delayed response! I don't frequent this forum often.
In my limited experience (I've kept Malis, Saharans and currently an Egyptian), Uromastyx are fairly intelligent lizards. As with many species, most of that intelligence revolves around food. I personally do not feel a person cannot bond with any reptile in the same manner one can with, say, a dog. At best, many reptiles learn to tolerate our presence and some will behave in certain ways to solicit reward (i.e. food!). We humans love to anthropomorphize things to death and its so cliche to say we "bond" with our iguana or bearded dragon or whatever.
Quite simply, your lizard will never "bond" with you as a parrot or a dog may in the sense it sees you as a companion. With a small handful of exceptions (which Uros are not a part of!), reptiles do not have the capacity for affection. They categorize things as follows:
- conspecifics (members of the same species),
- food/prey,
- predators/threats
- non-threat organisms
- environment (rocks, plants, etc)
Your pet lizard likely rates you as a non-threatening lifeform that routinely provides it food. Likewise, it has (or will) learned to tolerate your presence because instinct mandates that it never pass up a free meal. As mentioned before, it may even become alert and responsive when you approach, not because it "likes" you, but because it merely associates you with food. Do not misinterpret this as any form of affection.
To answer your other questions, Uromastyx see fairly well, as most herbivorous lizards do. They see in color, and within the UV spectrum, and they use this ability to identify safe plants to eat and members of their own species.
You may want to check out: http://www.uromastyx.org for more information.

I passed the spot on the road where I found this guy at ~6AM and on the return trip at 6:30 or so the little guy had been squished. there was rain that night and I guess it was trying to warm up ASAP.
thanks again.

The first is a black and white tegu (Tupinambis merianae). The second is a South American Collared Lizard (Tropidurus sp). The third is the rare and non-existent in the pet trade, four lined tegu (Tupinambis quadrilineatus). Nice find!

pct 1 is a tegu. dont know what pct 2 or 3 are.

I bought a lizard from a pet store in my old hometown and the owner said that it was a "black-gold agama." Nothing comes up in search engines and I haven't found anything online that looks even remotely similar. Waylon (lizard in question) is about 4" but the adults in the store were 7"-10". She is a deep charcoal color with very defined yellow spots
Reply by sgourle — 2011-04-29 01:10:25 GMT
For anyone else who has found themselves in possession of one of these beauties without knowing the name, wonder no more! It is Laudakia stellio picea.

Hi, I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best large, temperate, average to dry humidity environment lizard as a pet?
The Argentine Black and White Tegu looked great until I read it needed humidity.
I'm looking for something at least the size of a blue tongue skink.

This is a Phrynocephalus mystaceus; not routinely available to say the least. You may try to contact an importer who offers other herps from Central Asia.
