Thanks for the picture Rene, your setup looks very well done and is obviously working. The glass front allows you to view/ observe this shy species more easily than you would be able to in a pit style enclosure.
In actual fact they are the mozambican equivalent of our Sungazer. They live in burrows in open grasslands and give live birth. They need lots of calcium and sunlight and they will breed. Winter nights must be cool (not cold) but the days need to be hot.
BV, I am curious where did you learn that
S. mossambicus lives in burrows? Even Branch says that "This girdled lizard lives in
cracked boulders in montane grassland or well-wooded lower slopes."
I keep a trio of this species 1.2 in an outdoor pit. I have provided them with a buried pipe surrounded with rocks which they live in but I have never observed them digging their own burrow and infact I have never seen them leave the safety of their rock pile.
