Has anyone kept them, or are they not a popular herp choice? I found these three threads here, but not many pictures.

If anyone does keep them, could you post pictures? Kinda curious to see some other examples
 
From what I have seen, most are wild caught and do not like to be handled. I am sure they are decent display animals but I think that would be it. They are quite beautiful.

Beyond that, I can't say much. I have not had much experience with them.
 
They are easy to keep if you get decently aclimatized ones of the wild cauth species. There is however a species that is comonly cb and much bolder and easy to tame, the painted agamas and their hibrids. All are to be kept in beardy kind of basic setup but has to be larger, more climbing stuff and some require more moist. Allot can be very sucessfully kept in green houses or outdoors in the rigth climates.
 
Nope, that is a blue throated tree agama, Acanthocerus atricollis.
