So I COMPLETELY did what I always advised people not to do...

I took home a new rep...assuming I could find bountiful resources online on it's care. Well..guess what? I cannot find ANYTHING on care for this critter. Make that two critters...

So...if anyone knows ANYTHING...about care of the Polychrus Marmoratus (aka Monkey Lizard, or Monkey Anole) it would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!

So far.... I have both of them housed in a tall three sided screened tank (with glass front back and bottom)....I have many branches and fake fauna for them to hide and lay on. I'm using that fakey carpet stuff for a substrate.

As for lighting I have a Bi-Light and I am keeping them on a ...

ESU Reptile Super UV Coil-Lamp Compact Fluorescent Lamp in the day(it's both UVA and UVB). Along with a 75watt heat light for baskint.

And at night... I have a Hagen Night-Glo Incandescent Black Heat Lamps.

I also have a hermit crab heating pad on the bottom of the tank.

As for water.. I am setting up a drip system...until then I have been misting them regulary. Of which they seem to love.

As for diet.....?? I was feeding my Collared on a diet of gut loaded crickets, waxworms, butterworms, and the occasional meal worm. BUT.... other than crickets... I have no clue as to what to give these guys. And, I really do want them to have a varied diet as much as possible.

Like I said...if anyone can help it'd be great! Tell me where I am going wrong and right!
