are they active, they kinda of look sick from the pics, but it could just be the OK quality of the pic. What you have there are 2 Butterfly Agamas ( I am 150% sure). They become very beautiful when they grow up. Good Luck. If you need a care sheet, just ask.

I would like a caresheet, that would be awesome. Because I can’t find anything on the net about them. I’ve never seen any type of lizard that looks like this...And yes, they’re very active. TOO active...Rex (the big ugly one) was shedding so he looks cruddy.

Because they are not so popular in the pet trade, there is little care sheet available. But you cannot go wrong with Melissa Kaplin. Butterfly Agama, she has the basics. She didn’t add this, but stay away from lettuce. Feed them a variety of collards and veggies. Any additional questions I’d be happy to answer for you.

I don’t especially like Melissa Kaplan’s care sheets.
They are specific enough.
I found this care sheet on them, I don’t agree with a few in a 10-gallon, I think a 10-gallon is only big enough for one or twwo at max.
They also give a bunch of invertebrates they can eat...
Only give them crickets, mealworms, and MAYBE the occasional moth if you are low on food.
Also, Wax worms are good treats, as ewll as fattening if your lizard is skinny.
And they do not make good community lizards, no lizard does.
Good luck.-collin

Alrighty, thanks guys. And BTW, waxworms can be purchased at a regular petstore, right? Because they need fattening....

Yes, they should. Wax worms are an excellent choice to fatten up anything! Good luck!
