Pikeman- I will say they are not in the pet trade as much as previous years, but they are for sure still out there. If you do not believe me then check out these Armadillo Lizards.

i believe you can have 2 in the samecage depending on the size of the cage 2 males will get along as long as no females are introduced,males have slightly larger heads 2 females will also get along as long as there is enough space of course male and female is ok and that could result in babies, if you have more than 2 lizards and there are females keep males seperated or they will get territorial and could get hurt

There are well over 30 Cordylus species and sub-species. Just getting proper identification of the lizard is hard, determining sex can be worked out from there. I advise you to go to your local library and use their computers to lookup Cordylus full text documents. You may be shocked at just how many kinds are out there and how interesting they are. One interesting fact is, many give live birth.
The "Armadillo Lizard" Cordylus cataphractus that many people are looking for is still in the trade and is very expensive, try $500.00 each as a good starting point for adults, likely about the same for subadults and newborns if not more. C. cataphractus lives in rocky outcrops in South Africa, they can be found in groups of up to 8 in the same area. I am in the first stages of collecting data on all of the Cordylus lizards so that I can better care for the ones I have. You should do the same.

Iknow the message is very old, but as i saw this i thought it must be an 5 year old kid. reptiles are not to play with. what he told the other "kid" is cruelity to the animal. they dont need to be touched all the time, they are animals to look at the terra. i think the kids here in are absolut not able to handle this beautiful reptiles, i cant believe what i saw at this messages.
my english isnt that good but i think everbody understand what i am talking about.
