I could get a Shinisaurus...

[PatrickT]

What do you say? I heared they are pretty easy to keep. It would be an adult male. Has anyone experience here with them?

[Albert Clark]

Whats the common name???

[REM955]

Almighty Google has spoken:
Chinese Crocodile Lizard
Shinisaurus crocodilurus

Nifty looking!

[Princess-dad]

No question as to why that guy has crocodile in his name . Cool lizard ! Do you know if they make good pets ?

[PatrickT]

They are easy to keep. Pretty aquatic. They swim like otters.



Most keep them in aquariums with rocks and roots as basking spots:


They are pretty unique and nobody really knows what exactly they are. So far genetic tests say they are close to monitor lizards.

They need no UV light and pretty cold tempreatures. The water should be room temperature and the basking spot roughly 30°C. They eat mostly insects, fish and snails. They give birth to living babies

[Minkness]

Awesome! How big do they get as adults?

[PatrickT]

50-60cm as far as i know they stay average size and dont get very big.

cool. love that setup as well.

[AlexCrazy]

Asome lizard! Im liking what a see.. *--* new pet idea coming up.. ha ha

[SoPhilly]

Dooooo iiiiiiiittttt. Then get me one .

No, but srsly, they look awesome, I'd probably go for it, but I would want to do a lot of figuring out how to go about cleaning a setup like that before I got into it. Sometimes the animal is "easy to keep" but the habitat is "a full time job to maintain". Just my 2 cents. That guy looks worth figuring out tho.

look at that tail, looks just like a croc tail. Great looking lizard.

Get it! You need this animal. Everyone needs this animal!

One of my all time favourites.
