I think Chili has become my pride and joy in the pen. I always have fears that some lizard won't do well in captivity. This guy has done extremely well for me, inside or out. He will tend to jump a lot at the lid when he is in the house, but luckily he has only managed to rub his snout just a little. I keep him in the pen outside enough that it has not become a problem.

In this picture, it looks as if he is sporting a single black collar. I need to go look at him in person again, because I never noticed that before. I have a feeling it is just hiding behind those broad shoulders.

Looks beautiful John, you can tell he and Mr. Kong came from the same Locale. Hey as far as what you said below, about me, saying it must not be fun to have collareds outside, and ya never get to see them. And they turn abit wild and run from you, Well you answered, "its exciting, when you finally do see them, but get to experience their wild behavior." I understand, You also say the only one who sits out and does not move while your there is Chili, then you say "HE IS MT PRIDE AND JOY OG THE PEN" GUESS THATS BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE HIM GOOFBALL , LOL DuH ! Oh and having a room inside with rocks and things for them is just as cool for me, because they run free, sleep under rocks when they choose, and still come over to me, so I get the best of both ways, and I dont have to worry about rainy days, it has never rained in that room yet this year !!! Hahhahahah Have a good one, Great looking Boy, Eve

It was suppose to read He Is MY pride and Joy OF the pen !!
Anyway you look at it Mr. Eddington, face facts you like seeing them as much as anybody, But your EXCUSE for not seeing them for months, as being really cool, when they do appear, that you get to see them exhibit wild behavior, is as good of an excuse as any!!! LMAO ! Oh where oh where have my collareds gone, OH they are only hiding for a the year, LOL Eve

LOL...just kidding. Chili's the Pride and Joy, cuz he's so colorful. Wouldn't matter if he was scared or not. I just wouln't keep him outside, so I could look at him every day LOL
