Re: Nocturnal Terrestrial Herbivorous Lizard...Do they exist?
You've got me stumped as well. I'm not entirely sure they exsist. I keep thinking of a few rock iguanas but I believe they're not nocturnal. When I think nocturnal lizard I think gecko. Though you are asking for a lizard to fit into 3 categorys I'm stumped If you come up with something please let me know.
Well that blows my therory out of the water, a nocturnal herbivorus lizard exists. But maybe that's why they are not common, plant food sources that provide essential nutrition for a nocurnal reptile might be hard to come by.

Yea good pick but theres always one thing that keeps 'em out. I think you maybe on to something with skinks. I was thinking about a blue tounge but I don't think their nocturnal.

Think about it. Why would that exist. If it does its going to be extremely specialized and not a good pet at all. The problem, as was stated earlier, how do they get vitamin D and how do they keep from getting eaten.

Yeah, skinks may be as close as it gets...
Pink Tongue Skinks are primarily nocturnal....but they are omnivorous. Close!
