Re: Red headed agamas (Agama agama)???

Definitely the same lizards Westley.

I'm also not 100% sure on the species.

Maybe some of our other members could help?

Red headed agamas (Agama agama)???

Found this beautiful lizards in Mwane Dito in the DRC. I believe they are Red Headed Agamas? I have only seen them in Mwane Dito and in Kamina, but believe they are fairly common here in the DRC. http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/vanrooyenhannes/Congo%20Pics/_DSC7550.jpg http://i946.photobuck...

Re: Spider ID please.

Thanks man.

Yes dis have a look at the Argiope species, but could not find anything close to this one.

Here is another pic from n different angle...hope it helps.

Like I said it's a fairly big bodied spider...bigger than any other orb-web I've ever seen.

Spider ID please.

Hi to all.

Can anyone please ID this spider for me. Found it in Swaziland close to the Mlawula Game Park. My first thought was that it is a Golden Orb-web, but doesn't resemble the ones I'm familiar with. This one is about 55mm including legspan.

Thanks,
Hannes.

Re: Agkistrodon Contortrix Contortrix

Mine also stops feeding usually from May till August. You shouldn't worry to much if she doesn't lose any condition or if there's any obvious signs that something is wrong.

Do you heat her enclosure?
