Is this really a warren's girdled lizard?

[Nicki]

This was listed as a warren's girdled lizard at a store, but doesn't match the discription of any I saw on the internet. What do you think?

[JeffT]

Not sure, I have think there are a couple species of girdled's but Ive never seen one like that . But it is VERY cool looking thats for deffinate. I wouldnt mind having one like that for myself.

it looks like one to me, i've never owned one but i have seen some that look like that.

[JeffT]

most of the ones ive seen had yellow bellies, maybe you have a new morph?

I don't know, but I really like him. He's just gorgeous. I think he needs a girlfriend, though!!! :)

Do any of you know of any care info for these guys? I've done all the searching I can, and there just isn't too much out there that I can find...

Ok, I found out what he is:

Cordylus warreni mossambicus

He's just gorgeous, and I'm hoping to get him a couple of girlfriends. The females only have the orange colour under the chin, not on the whole belly. And they are live-bearers. These are really neat little guys! :)

Nicki, not to pick, but it's a cordylus mossanbicus, cordylus warreni is a different species.
Here's a good link for the differences.

Ok, I'll accept that, ReneeB! :) I do like to be as precise as possible. I've been researching some more, and I think you're right (as opposed to the person who indicated it was a subspecies of warreni).

Thanks!
