GREEN DRAGON

Actually it appears to be a female Gonocephalus doriae. I have two females myself and a clutch of eggs incubating. I keep my two together in a 6' tall x 3' x 3' wire mesh enclosure with live plants and a mist system that goes off twice a day for 20 minutes. Here are a couple photos of mine:

I was going to say that mesh enclosures arent the best because they let out heat and moist, but since your in Florida it isnt that big of a deal The best of lucks with the eggs

nice pics coura..thanks..here are more pics of mine ..... close up..yeah and it's a female...I might be getting the male also..just holding..he is not doing so well....but his color is awsome!!!

 

[coura]

Thanks but thouse aint my photos or animals, I wish. But now I must worn you I dont think thats a G. doriae, the skales, the proporcions, the snout and the color is diferent then from the animals in thouse photos. I also think it may actualy be a male

 

[coura]

Ok aparently they really are from diferent species, the question is wich is wich Both animals are identified online as G. doriae or G. abotti. One has a shorter snout and head, body mainly darker green and a sligty bigger crest and head(Nicolai´s animal) The others have a longer snout with a bigger darker protuberance, a very well marked set of crest scales and a emerald green body with yellow spots on the belly

Actually I was the one who posted those photos. Now that Coura points out the difference in the crest scalation, however, I agree that they are two different species. I'm still trying to find a male for my females. Luckily one of mine was gravid when I got her and her clutch is incubating.

Thouse are gorgeous However the first male has yet another more flat snout, the most likely is to be the one is the 3 male
