Very cool ig's though I don't think too many people have them. I wish I did:D Do you keep them? If so could you share some info with us all?

Julie,

I picked some up recently. So far their behaviour is identical to the few journal articles I found on them. They come out much later than most lizards I've seen -- not really emerging to bask until 10:00 or 11:00. They hang up there until later in the evening, though. They enjoy basking high up on their branch but when crickets are introduced they will jump right down onto the substrate and hunt. They are somewhat shy and I have made no attempts to handle them. I have two females and one male and the male seems quite frisky. I have yet to see an actual coupling, though.

Cheers,
Dave
