Does anyone on here keep them ( mainly aimed at the Dutch and Germans).I have seen wonderful photos of this species.Are they as good in real life?

Hi Colin,

I keep them and can say that it takes a very long time till they are fully colored. The male on the picture is about 1,5 years old and now starting to get some nice colors. The females are still only grey with some white and dark grey patterns. They only look a bit green when they are sun bathing.

Hi Quadi,
Thanks for the reply.Are they easy to keep? Do they like high temperatures or cooler?

I am asking as I am interested and may look at this species for my next project.

You can compare their requirements with pusilla, parva or modesta. Not too dry and not too hot. I do not think they are hard to keep. ;-)

Thanks Quadi.

I keep mainly the Mauritian species.
