Allegedly has a better personality than the red head agama, I'm guessing care is similar.

Do you know the care ? I don't... I can't find safe plant list. Or feeding schedule.

They're native to parts of South East Asia. Do you know which species? They love to dig. Most people recommend about 1-2ft of a sand/ soil substrate. A common issue is them loosing digits from trying to dig into the glass.
Depending on the species you want ambient temp of high 70s to mid/ low 80s and a basking of high 80s/ low 90s. Most require higher humidity, in the 70 to 90% range. From what I gather they mostly live in Humid Savannah type habitat. I'll try and find the website that gave a few species and their ecology.

From some things I just read, I got the feeling that many/most are WC, so I'd take the same precautions as with any WC reptile.

They are too precious! 
With that many little mouths to feed, you are going to need to start breeding your own feeders! If you make it over my way, I can get you started with some darkling beetles for superworms and probably some discoids to start a colony.

I knowwwww!!! I would love tooThey are too precious!
I will talk to the mother about it lolol. Shouldn't be a problem. You'll have to tell me how too. But I wanna start breeding dubia too. Just need to figure who to get it sent too first. Lol I need to buy some heating pads too.

Dubia are illegal here in Fl, so we have discoid instead. Pretty much the same, although discoid move a bit faster and I read somewhere they may be a bit more nutritious. Hot weather is coming so you shouldn’t need a heat mat for a colony. A garage or shaded area outside even would work fine.
The darkling beetles live a good long time and do nothing but eat and make baby superworms. I have at least triple/quadruple the amount of beetles I had before and in a month or so will be drowning in superworms. I’m still feeding off the supers from my previous batch of beetles!
