gherrosaurus major - pic updates

Haven't posted pics of our Sudanese Plated Lizards in a good long while so thought I would update. They are very hearty and easy to keep and generally mellow all-around (so long as you don't touch their tails and get an almost autonomic whip for it). They still prefer the high ground - so when handling they will trundle up your arm and perch on your shoulder - makes for awkward pirating.

Very cool looking lizard Matt! Someday I'm going to have to get a complete list of all the interesting creatures that you and Angie have there.

Holy schmoly, he's gotten big! I remember when you got him as a baby! He is SO cool looking....very prehistoric!

Well surprise surprise - it seems they are a mating pair after all:

Blindsided again but a nice jawdropper ;)

Very cool!! Congrats on the egg. Have you candled it yet?

How awesome is that?? Nice to get the good kind of blindsides for a change, huh? :sunny:

Congrats Matt, hope you guys get a baby plated out of this mating.
