collaris from back east (like a forested area). I could be WAY off, though!

not to burst any bubbles but are you sure sara is a female? her chin area looks really spotty for being a girl. i have a female lizard named ivan because i thought she was a boy when i first got her.
also i am going to have to go with that she looks like the eastern collareds because she looks alot like my lizards and they are just the regular old c. collaris (i get a little confused on scientific and common names so if that isn't the same thing will someone please tell me)

She doesn't have the big white scales row and she got 2 black spots both side of "vent" area. Im 99 % sure it's a female, she just loves to look at herself in the mirror

I have a little brownish yellowy girl too, they are real cute.

If you are seeing the black dots on both sides of vent, and no row of large scales, than SARA's name is appropriate, and you can be 100 percent sure.

Hello,

As far I can see, she is a mix of Cr. bisinctorus with a Cr. collaris collaris.
She have the color and patern of the bisinctorus but her body looks more to a collaris.
A few years ago I also had some mixed collareds.
The females where extreem big when they where addult.

I wanted you to identify her for a specific reason : I want to buy her a male mate.

Is the best choice a collaris Aquaflame or a bicintores ?

For the purists out there, you should not get any male until you have a positive ID so you don't create "mutts."

If it were me, I'd lean more towards collaris, but probably not an aquaflame--she looks more like a female "green" collaris to me.

so now i am really confused. i thought that the aquaflames were part of the regular collaris group but it was just a way to describe the coloring? i am not really good with taxonomy so i would like to know a little more about it. i know will wells has the page with different pictures of the different groups but is there a webpage that actually has like the little tree and branches to show the different types of collared lizards? i know alot of it is debatable, as i have seen you all talk about it before. (something to do with the yellowheads)

I think the tree is adapted from McGuire's.

Because bisinctorus mix also get big and les egs (not like the collaris species) I think to thake a bisinctorus male is the best.
Somethimes the mixes have in a cuttle big and small egs.
The small egs mostly don't come out.
Thats the result of the mixed combination.
So (i think) whit a bisinctorus male the hatchlings from it produce better egs again.

I hope you can follow it(because i'm Dutch)
