Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Wow, you are one amazing person! I hadn't checked in here forever, when I did, there was this amazing biology lesson waiting for me! Wow! What did you study in college? What is your actual profession? If you don't mind

I was also wondering because I've seen several different things concerning them, if you know anything about Acanthosaura crucigeria? There is and ad on one of the classifieds which is advertising crucigerias, but they look like capra to me. I was just wondering. Nobody seems to have any pictures of them or any real info on them. I was thinking that you of all people would know!

Thanks!

Hello Bob!

Unfortunately biology wasn’t my thing when younger, I was more a manual type.
In 1988 I started a company (Arboreal international) slowly I got investors interested in preserving local forested lands, nowadays my company buys 1000.000 acres of forested land each year in South America, Asia, Africa and Canada.
You can say I work hard so that animals of all species keep there rightful homes.

I am sorry but I can’t post any photos at this moment, I am working on a book and keep my material for it. I hope you understand.

Theirs many species and morphs totally unknown to most keepers, this complex sure got my attention lately.

Wow, how neat. Good for you, you made your own company based on conservation. I'm impressed. I totally understand about the info for the book, no problem. Do you have any A. crucigeria? I don't need pics, I'm just curious. I've only seen one in the keeper gallery on the kingsnake homepage. The few others I have seen are actually nice looking. Well, thanks for your time!

Hello Bob:
We're glad you found this forum. There is probably more info on Mountain Horned Dragons here than any other site. This complex group of lizards is a real enigma because there are new species cropping up as new areas are opened. A good diagnostic key is in order for them. I'm sure that in the scientific literature there is one but I do not have a copy myself. I was at a show the other day and found a table that had several "Mountain Horned Dragons." There were at least three species of them. I picked up a nice unidentified male from the group.
This group of lizards includes the bizarre Angle-Head Dragons of the genus Gonocephalus. There are some extremely interesting lizards in that group as well.
As a whole Asian Forest "Dragons" are extremely interesting and raising the eyebrows of researchers. Stay tuned here as many of the hobbyists who work with this group of lizards talk here.
Have a Great Day!!!
P.S. Check out the archives and the old archives for pictures of various species.
