Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm working on a breeding project with this species. Anyone have any tips? I already have a male female pair. I'm looking at getting 3 more females pretty soon. I've heard they can't be in bigger groups than a trio due to ag9gression?

Ive worked with many for years. Mine usually calmed down nicely and would breed in the late winter or early spring. They do well outdoors during warm weather. Only one male and female per enclosure. Lizards of the same sex will fight.

I've heard they can be kept in trios, for example 1.2. I've also heard they can be kept in larger groups such as 1.4 or 1.5. What size enclosure do you keep yours in?

On a side note, do you have any Palearis currently?

I agree with Mark, I have a trio,the females seem to be as aggresive as the males to each other, they have very complex displays but will eventually start to kick some ass!

Well, I have seen aggression between my male and female. I have them in a 4x2x3 (lxwxh). But now with even your response, though you agree with Mark, you offer yet a different opinion. He says no more than 1.1. I see aggression (not extreme though) between 1.1. You say a trio is fine but still kick ass. I've heard this before, that even in a 10x8x5 enclosure still shouldn't have more than a trio. I've heard though of success in a 6x6x5 with 1.5. It seems the only constant is aggression, but the point that makes difference between manageable aggression and killing aggression is cage size and hiding/basking spot availability. What size enclosures are you guys working with?
