I'm considering this species as my next purchase and would love some opinions on them - and of course would love to see some pics.

Thanks!

I remember on the bluetongueskinks.net forum you said your PTS will be your last herp, obiviously not :D

LOL, I don't own them but I think they look really cool though!

The important thing about Dipsosaurus dorsalis... they need it HOT! They have incredible problems digesting food if their basking spot is below 110 fahrenheit as far as I have read. From what I have actually seen, they thrive in high heat, and wither with a mere 60 watt light bulb as their only heat source.
Even wild caught specimens seem rather tame, and I like the look of the animals. If I had the space ( I have the space, though I would rather use it for dart frogs), I would surely have a few of these animals.

Good luck
