Wow, cute little things - and smart! Holy crap are they smart! I was expecting a fence lizard kind of intelligence, and the same kind of speed. They are slower, and much more deliberate.
They have a lot of presence about them for such a small lizard, something I'm only used to with larger iguanids and monitors.
For some reason I though they were going to be in deli cups (don't know why) and I opened up the box and had lizards crawling all over mer here at work! LOL!

Thanks again Will. I'll keep you posted as to how they're doing.
I'm working in their large corner enclosure, and have begun the mock rock face.
They have a smaller tank to live in until it's done. I'll post pics when I get a but further along.

Cheers
Jim

Congrats, there is nothing more fun than getting lizzies in the mail!!!

Jim,
Glad they made it okay, especially after they came back to me the first time I sent them. I'm glad you like them and yes they are smarter than a fence lizard. Keep me posted on their developement. Can you tell which one is the male?

LOL...

John

Post some pics when your all done Jim!

I got mine today also, was glad they made it safe and sound!

Thanks everyone, and yeah Will, I can tell which one the mail is. He's quite a bit thicker than the others. I'm used to looking for incredibley subtle sexual dimorphism in monitors, so the differences in these guys stick out like a sore thumb to me.
They are so cool!
My little girls are stoked! I have twin 6 year olds, and I love exposing them to this stuff. They each have a snake. One has a jungle carpet python, the other has a green tree python. Dad takes care of the snakes of course. And the reef tank, and the tarantulas...and the dogs...ahem. Anyway,we're keeping the lizards in their room until their "habitat" is done.
I'll keep you peeps posted.

Thanks again Will!

Jim
