I only see these for the first time today (not really looked into agamas apart from a Red Headed a while ago) and I must say they look stunning little animals. Might look into the a bit more.

Looks like that pair have took to each other really well too. Good luck with them

hello In5omniac.

Hopefully picking up a pair this week.

Done all the research but talking to someone with first hand experience is always better.

can i ask questions ?

What temps do you use day / night ?

What humidity range do you keep ?

What foodstuffs do they prefer ?

Any other advice or suggestions appreciated

Cheers

What temps do you use day / night ? Day: around 90 F, Night: 75-80F

What humidity range do you keep ? Constant between 65 and 75%

What foodstuffs do they prefer ? Locusts dusted with Nutrobal, though will happily eat crix, no interest in fruit/veg

Any other advice or suggestions appreciated Dont be afraid of breaking them, they're small, but hardy, they may be prone to toe loss or tail kinking during transit/capture before you buy, this doesn't hinder them at all. They are FAST, be careful if you have more than one when opening the viv, when handling a little grab of the tail can be worthwhile, they won't drop their tail and it stops them running away. If your dragon agama looks quite dark, this usually indicates it's too cold. They may get a bit agitated at times and open their mouths, don't worry, the bite doesn't hurt in the least and they daren't bite anyway most of the time, you can put your pinkie (finger, not mouse!) in their open mouth and they won't really know what to do. I keep mine in a 24" x 18" x 18" viv with plants and logs/branches. For water I use a waterfall, though this will require regular cleaning.

Cheers
Hope that helps

Gorgeous little creatures, i'd love to have one but i havent seen one let alone two in any of the pe shops near me! which is upsetting but i can live through it

Sorry to hear about the one you lost tho, i do hope you find it alive it will be a great shame if it had died
