Received a gravid wild caught female. She gave birth to 5 young. Here is a pic of a little one. This is actually one of the first species of lizard i ever kept.

Sweet. Ive never seen these before ;/

The adults look cool...

 

[ataraxia]

They are pretty neat. When they are cold they are pretty much straight black. They change colors with heat. I use to be so amazed at that.

I forgot to mention how much I am diggin' the fingers and toes lol

 

[ataraxia]

They can grip really well with those little fingers. They are like little suction cups and are apparently made to go super sonic speeds. Little things are pretty darn fast. They slow way down as adults but o'man is he fast atm.

What's the common name for those?
Is it emerald swift? If it is I had those when I was just a really young kid that were always having babies haha

 

[ataraxia]

[Whatcamo]

You beat me to my edit haha

 

[ataraxia]

How long did you keep yours?

 

[Whatcamo]

I think I had four years worth of cross bred baby making haha I was young didn't know to much I think I was like 6-7 when I got them I do remember the mother dying from parasites that she passed to 3 of the babies so get yours checked out for sure
If you think they're wild caught but otherwise they seemed almost bullet proof! Just don't let one escape or else well like you said they're fast as all get out!

They are so tiny even if i can spot parasites on a slide. I couldnt treat them with most of what i have here..
