Collared Lizards

rhallman Apr 20, 2006 02:04 AM

Hello folks, I do not keep these lizards myself at the moment but I am interested in their popularity. I do see them in the desert from time to time. I have a few questions for you Collared fans.

What species / subspecies are being kept?

What morphs are out there (natural occurring vs captive bred morphs)?

Is the bulk of Collared Lizards being kept coming from captive bred stock or wc?

What about related species like the Leopard Lizards?

What has proven to be the most successful captive diet and how much?

Is there a clearing house for husbandry information?

all of them are kept except for the reticulated because it is illegal to have them in captivity, although C. collaris seems to be more available than the others

What morphs are out there (natural occurring vs captive bred morphs)?
someone else can probably answer this better but there are aquaflames, yellowheads, texas flames and just good old brown ones of the collaris
