Giant Plated Lizard (Gerrarasaurus major)

dyky71 Nov 22, 2004 11:53 AM

I am looking for some good caresheets for Giant Plated Lizards(Gerrasaurus major)
I had a trio a few years and sold them.
I miss having them.
There were neat docile lizards and I am going to get a few more.
I am looking for some good care sheets to refresh my memory on their care, temps etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,Kathy

I've been researching the ever-mysterious Gerrhosaurus validus, but given the lack of information about plateds, I've found some info about G. major as well.

There isn't much about plated lizards (of any kind). They seem to be a somewhat obscure herp, and as such, don't ellicit the attention lavished on more popular species. I've recieved a lot of conflicting information about G. validus; at this point, I'm letting Clyde tell me what works for him.
