Very cool. I was unfamiliar with that species until you posted this. Thanks

Re: Hydrosaurus Pustulatus

I just saw on Facebook that someone requested the Reptile Shop in Vegas find them one. From what I've read, they're omnivorous, semi-arboreal and adults need huge enclosures.

Nope. It's a lizard from the Philippines that exists today! Aren't they awesome?

Re: Hydrosaurus Pustulatus

Those things are incredible- I almost got one a few years ago, but realistically could not find enough space in a townhouse. They need more room than an iguana. Someday I want one though...such cool lizards!

Re: Hydrosaurus Pustulatus

I've seen the guy who breeds them at the daytona shows before. Seeing those guys in person is an experience to say the least. They look exactly the same in person as they do in the pictures. The sails on the males are unreal and the blues are super bright. I've always like the Webers sailfins better but these are more impressive.

Re: Hydrosaurus Pustulatus

I've seen these before, very cool lizards, not very common though.
