Lacerta Keepers???
I would like it if some lacerta keepers actually started to post on here to exchange ideas and information regarding lacertids. So anyways, my lacerta collection currently consists of 0.1 Timon lepidus and 2.1 Podarcis sicula campestris What do you have??? |

These are both females. I found them about 8 months ago at a pet shop. They were in a 1 gallon tank with no lights and sitting in wet coconut husk. They looked pretty miserable but I took a liking to them and bought them, mostly because my daughter felt sorry for them and kept after me to get them. Here’s a shot of them today. I know they’re in the Acanthodactylus family and I believe they’re called Egyptian fringe toes. They love sand and dry conditions although they have a small pool they drink from every couple of days. They’re in a 65 gal tank and although they were basking/sleeping when the shots were taken they spend most of the day digging(sand is about 5 inches deep) and climbing around the tank. Their kept under a mega ray bulb and have gone through a number of sheds but are still about 5-6 inches max. I’d like to get a couple more, but I’m in Canada and haven’t seen any more since I picked these up. I was just wondering whether they can be kept with other Lacertas of the same size. Also, in one of the other shots it looks like they’re eating some sort of fruit. I didn’t know they’d touch anything but insects. Would any other keepers know what fruit they might like that wouldn’t be dangerous for them?

The females:
Whats really interesting is that they both squeak. So they do have some vocal qualities.
Although not a lacertaid, here is a photo of one of my big boy broadhead skinks. JERRY

I would love to see some terrarium pictures if you have any. What species are you looking for? I would love to get my hands on some viridis or bilineata. I currently have 2 clutches of podarcis eggs incubating hopefully they will hatch soon. |

I very recently picked up a trio of T.lepidus, one of which laid a clutch of ~22 eggs the day after I got them which took us a bit by surprise! Theyre lovely little lizards, very active. I would also like to see more terrarium pics - I havent yet begun building the scenery for my cage, and so wouldnt mind some inspiration. Ameivaboy what are you using for substrate? I was toying with the idea of sand but I also bought a bag of topsoil and am trying to decide what to use. Perhaps a mixture of both. |

The podarcis have organic top soil which i like. I’m going to start working on a new terrarium soon for the podarcis that should be a lot of fun :) |
