Abronia graminea "Black Eye"

[Yann]

Here is an arboreal lizard from Mexico: Abronia graminea "Black Eye"
It is an ovoviviparous species
Currently only have this 18 months male

Name Alligator lizard because of their massive head and their skin that look a lot like alligator, they also behave the same way when biting, spinning on their longitudinal axis once they have a grip on you...

Nice photo's, Yann, have you found a female for him yet?

We hope to get some babies of our Abronia's this year.

Hi Tamara!!

I have found a female for him. I am getting her next March. Hopefully I ll have a few young in the futur!!

Wishing you many babies from yours as well

 

[Tamara]

Great, if you get her in march they might breed for you this year already.
They usualy breed from july till september, so chances are great you will have offspring in 2016.., but i'm sure you already knew that.

Our graminea female has a nice thick belly so that's looking very good, i'm not sure abouth our lythrochila though.., but we will see.

Good luck with them.
Greetings.

Thanks
Cheers

Their personality is great, we have found ours to be rather docile actually, we keep handling to a bare minimum but when necessary they usually let us, atleast 3 of them, the male lythrochila is yust a mean, viscious little critter. Lol
