Corytophanes percarinatus

Finally got a pair. Difficult to get. This is the 3rd species of these helmeted iguanas. The first cristatus, then hernandizii and the least frequent percaninatus. Very rarely brought into the country due to its limited locality.... What makes this species so unusual is that they are live bearers... Go figure that one out !

Nice! Have you got a picture of the other one?

I've kept the other two species but never had babies from either.
