Thanks

Hi...

As I said to Kent earlier today - if I had been more into lizards and if I had a bigger vallet, those would have been mine... They are absolutley stunning !

That is beautiful !!!

Never seen anything really like it, although it looks morphologically similar to the American Alligator Lizards of the genus Gerrhonotus. Maybe its a South American form I've never seen. Let us know

You are getting close there pythonodipsas.
Any one else like to give a shoot.
Hellemar is not invited, since I told him what it is.

Here is some info that might help you.
The genera comes from cloud forests at high elevations in Central America, mainly Mexico and Guatemala. There are about 26 species known to Science depending on who you ask, and they are live bearing, producing a single litter each year.
In the wild they are mostly arboreal and live in the trees, although I have found specimens on the ground too and in rotting wood, or moss. The trees they live on are typically covered with moss, ferns, orchids and most importantly…bromeliads. They use the bromeliads as micro-habitat for humidity, water, shelter and food source. They are found at high elevations, usually 1500 – 2500 meters and will thrive best in a climate that has a strong night time temperature drop.

Google is my friend!

I did a little bit of searching on Alligator Lizards and I came up with Abronia smithi??

Fascinating lizard!

Abronia Gramminea is the correct specis.
They cost 1,500 US$ each for C/B juveniles in USA.
But they are woth every dollar.
Unfortunaly I can not afford to keep such animals.

So they are for sale.
