I should also correct my original post. I originally stated that the Sudan plated lizards are from northern Africa which isnā€™t accurate. They actually range through central and southeast Africa more specifically Iā€™ll show you a map of their habitat range and some information on climate

:man_facepalming: I also just noticed that there is a typo 3.5 years laterā€¦ it says ā€œthey are NOT closely related to skinksā€ the NOT isnā€™t supposed to be there. They are in fact in the infraorder Scincomorpha which includes skinks and other closely related families.

Update on Juggernautā€™s enclosure and a short feeding clip at the end. There is a warning before the feeding for those who want to stop the video at that point.

Heā€™s so awesome, I love him! :heart_eyes: I first learned of the existence of plated lizards a few years ago, I think they are so freaking cool. Definitely a species Iā€™d consider keeping if/when they become more readily available CBB. They look like a cross between a skink, a dragon, and a medieval knight in plate armor. So, so cool.

And I love that enclosure youā€™ve made for him, itā€™s really beautiful with all the wood and live plants.
