We have plenty from the UK and Ireland and Italy.

Just based off colors I'd say you have at least one male! And your english is great! Actually perfect haha. Never would have thought it wasn't your first language, it's probably better than mine

Interesting lizards! I´ve never seen those before.

Thanks everyone,I'm really glad I found this forum,people here are really nice and friendly.
I really like those lizzards because they have nice colours,they look really unusual.Also I agree that larger one with blue color on neck could be male,so I'm hoping they might be breeding.I was told that they don't require special UVB lighting what is really interesting but I got one anyway just to be sure

Hi and welcome

Veronica · 04-07-20, 08:20 AM

Yeah, good call on the UVB. Pretty sure that species needs it

I knew of someone that kept lacertas like they did varanus acanthurus, also known as goannas or ackies. They kept the lizards in a stock tank (sheep watering trough) that contained 12" (~300 mm) of sandy soil as substrate. The soil was kept moist, not wet. The tank contained numerous cork bark flats and a retes stack. I believe that the basking temperature at the top of the stack was set for 100-110F (37 to 43 C). There was a water dish large enough for a lizard could take a bath in. The tank had a plexiglass lid to retain heat and humidity.

I believe the lizards did well in the cage and the females used the deep soil to nest without problems.
