Hey Marcia and all, in the many years of keeping and breeding "difficult lizards" i've found that the prettier they are, the harder to keep and usually have more of an attitude than their closely related counterparts such as the armata in the Acanthosaurus genera. Same goes with the duller species of gonos, tree dragons, and sailfin dragons.....much easier to keep than the brighter more ornamental ones. The bright ones stand out like sore thumbs and thus easily jump on to the stress wagon in captivity. Your best bet in any situation to alleviate stress for the pretty species that are serious about holding their territories, is to keep your males separate from the girls(who always have better appetites to keep egg production up)and seem to have way less mortality issues due to the need to reproduce. Man if it were only easy like snakes LOL.
