Wow! That's really interesting. Especially since they share the same natural range. I have no idea if it will work but if you do get eggs you can just incubate them in the upper seventies with high humidity but not wet. They'll hatch when they hatch. I imagine pinhead crickets would be small enough but if not just make a pillow-case "net" and collect some lawn plankton.

Hello,
I just caught a broad headed and was hoping you could tell me how to care for it.
Thanks
Tom

Hey, there preety easy to care for, they need a long cage rather then tall, beding that they can dig in, UV (like all lizards), i feed mine crickets and meal worms gut loaded, and an above beding hiding place.
I hope this helps and good luck with your broad head.
