Ive posted about them before and got no reaplys but does anybody know anything about them

does it have another name or do you know the scientific name cause Ive looked through all me field guides and cant find it.if you tell me I can probably tell you how to care for it.

a western whiptail I know alot but I want to know more

sorry I looked it up and could not find any captive care info.although I did find that some populations of this animal are parthenogenic.sometime soon I will possibly be getting a trio of checkered wihipotails if it is possible to keep them out side all year.
