Well I bought him/her/it today. With the few minutes of handling I've had, it has proved to be a very docile and curious herp. Dispite tensing up initially with my hand in the tank, it seems to be reasonably comfortable with human contact.

First lizard I've ever seen that knows not to fall off the edge of my couch, too.

I've got it in a home built tank that's about 48"x14"x18". I've got a few hides, water bowl, all on basic unfertilized garden dirt. I'm sure I'll pick up a few rocks and branches for climbing and all that.

I'm working out the temperatures... I haven't had enough time with the lights on to get an accurate idea, but they seem to be decent thus far. I seemed to have lost my UV hood... but I'll pick one up tommorow and put in a 15w repti glo 5.0 from Exo Terra.

Looking forward to seeing a bit more of this guy.
