Hello! Thanks! I can certainly understand your frustration with "dull" lizards. That was one reason I wanted to try the gonos.
I have found the armata very problematic to keep. Never bred them, as of yet, but I am trying to organize a shipment of a few of their females. Really tough little critters.
As for the slivery, dull scale issue, the scales sometimes seem to look dull even in a previously colorful animal. It seems that they look nicer when freshly imported than they do after they have been in captivity for long periods. This is at least true of my female capras. The male is very handsome, not quite as orange-ish as yours though. He's more of a yellow-gold color.
I have this wonderful female who is this gray color, well not really gray, but it is just really really pretty. I know gray probably doesn't sound exciting, but she is quite pretty. I have a couple different colors going on myself, so I will be interested to see what happens with the babies.
If you don't mind me asking, how many acanthosaura do you have? I have been re-reading older posts and it seems like you have a ton! I have 1.3 capra, 1.2 armata, 1.2 coronata. Not terribly exciting I know, but I like them. Oh and speaking of my lizards, I don't know if you saw my post about the gonos? They are all doing very well now! Eating the mealworms out of a bowl like crazy! Thanks!
Regards, Robert
