Does anyone breed/care for Gonocephalus grandis?

Felissa Jul 20, 2004 09:26 AM

I first saw one for sale in the classified ads ages ago, so I started doing research. I can't find much in the way of anything about them.

I've only ever found one care sheet, and I have no idea if it's correct. Does anyone else have a caresheet? Or would be willing to discuss care with me?

I can't find any breeders either. Is anyone planning on breeding theirs? Or are they just not a popular lizard here in the states (I can find them for sale in Europe, that doesn't help me much though).

place to start.
There is a seller in the classifieds, Mark M. Lucas, I have occasionally seen a few on his site.

You could probably email him and ask your questions, he may have some answers your looking for.

They are a very cool looking lizard, good luck in your search.

I was actually debating asking him. I found an old version of his site floating around the net that has them listed. But they weren't on his new site. So I figured I'd ask here first.

Thanks!

I do only breed Gonocephalus chamaeleontinus...but maybe that already enables me to answer some of your Qs...just ask

Those look pretty interesting too.

I'm still looking for care instructions. I always like to compare what one person says with others. Which is easy to do with popular herps like cornsnakes or beardies. So far I've only got two (the caresheet in the previous post, and Mark M Lucas gave me a brief overview).

All the important stuff like diet and habitat (cage size, furnishings, foliage density, lighting/UVB, humidity/water sources, temperature, etc). Plus info such as what their temperment is like, if they should be kept solitary or in pairs, and breeding.
