I suppose it all comes down to personal preferences and tastes when we try and determine the 'most beautiful' anything. Its like art and very subjective, whats beautiful to one person can be complete cr@p to another person.

Silvrav, it is changes from one to the other, for example my male eyed lizard is as tame as can be whereas my female is vicious, and hardly ever attempt to pick her up because she can drop her tail... don't want that now.
I use to have 2 bosc's, brother and sister and I got them when they were about 2 weeks old or something, they were tiny! and we gave them equal attention and everything but the male never calmed down where the female, is so chilled and curious and stupid at times, she never hisses, whips or bites in an aggressive stance, she just think everything is food... literally!
So some calm down and some don't, even with geckos.
Does this answer your question?

I thought this was a joke? I was trying to work out if it was plastic or not, you learn something new everyday. Amazing looking animal, a living dinosaur :)

I vote adult male Chinese Water Dragon. I owned a trio and the male was awesome. I got home one day and went to go check on them and he was laying in their little pool/wate bowl upside down. My heart stopped and when I picked him up I realised that he was dead! He wasnt breathing.

I called a knowledgable friend who told me I should just leave him in his cage for a few hours as this is their defense mechacnisim. I was not sure if I believed him but put the male back in the cage. exactly 1 hour later I came back and there he was standing on a rock nodding his head up and down.

Little bugger almost cost me a trip to the vet!
Very Awesome pet!!

That sailfin dragon is really something else!!! A lot of the reptiles shown in this thread are absolutely amazing. I didn't realise just how many really beautiful varieties there were. Sometimes the animals are so unusual looking that you wonder if they are real or not. Oh to win the lotto!!! I'd buy lizards - most woman would choose shoes or handbags - they can keep them - I'd get me some lizards !!!
