Need a species clarification.

I'm not yet too proficient in identifying the different Acanthasaur. Could you please clear up what species these are. Thanks.

The second one is the same as Apollo. I would say capra but apearantly something about the roof of their mouths and the vertabreal spines colliding with the abodoral scales... Just kidding. But seriously, I would call it capra, capra like. Jobi has got me so confused right now...

By the way, these are all the same dragon.

This south Vietnam specie will be officially named next year. It is closely related to nataliae more so then capra.

Nice lizards!

The scrolling thing is cute but I think you have to discover the thing to name it.

I agree. They are beautiful. Are they male and female? If so they should have nice babies.
