Just relieved this guy, hope he will acclimate for me. I am being patient to see if he will start eating on his own, my last one did
but I understand these can be real buggers to acclimate....

Nice looking guy. I would agree that true yellow heads are one of the more difficult types of collareds to acclimate to captivity. Good luck.

This lizard...I could not get CB yellow heads to acclimate to my captivity :O) I never had much luck with them myself. I kept some together with my aquaflames out in my pen (when I had it) and my I witnessed my large female aquaflames picking on the female yellow head. Strange.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with that lizard...any females?

Must be YELLER TIME, I'm working with a whole new group as well getting them cleaned up, and well fed, hoping all will thrive they are beauties. I will have to post all of them one day soon together what a sight

Your boy sure is a pretty guy!

Because if the negative publicity these lizards acclimating I am gong to just work with him, I know you have many. I just wanted to see what I could do with him, and I felt it would be wrong to get a female as well just more issues if he doesn't acclimate. He is young and he barely had any mites at all on him, I will re-mite in a few days but just really trying to get him to eat. He does show interest so hopefully after he settles down we'll see. Like my little retic Randy suggested grasshoppers are one of their favorites and my back yard is full of them, so maybe a grass hopper tomorrow, its starting to warm up after having days of over cast and even torrential rain for short periods.
