Breeding texas spotted whiptails

[Sol]

I really want to breed some of the whiptails we've got down here, as they are very pretty and seem like they'd make great pets, but I can't find any information on it.

Could anybody help me out?

I have a Reptiles magazine with an article on them, lemme see if I can find it for you.

Sol,

The few considerations that I can think of are you will need a lot of cage space. You will need a relatively "hot" basking spot, UV lights would be a must and lots of food. They are very active and have a high metabolism and will need a lot of food. It would probably be a good idea to have multiple basking sites and a good number of hides for them as well. I would also plan on spraying them at least 3 times per week with some sort of mister as well as offering them a water bowl.

Those are just some of my thoughts off the top of my head.

Thanks for the ideas Stephen!

One of the things I was thinking of, was having an outdoor facility for them, just a large fenced in area with a bunch of rocks and maybe some nest boxes. This being their natural environment, it seems like that would be the easiest way to go about it. I was just wondering if anybody had any experience breeding before and could give me some hints on making them thrive and whatnot.

Thanks,
Sol

Don't think they are geckos at all. Their more like a long tailed grass lizard or so ameiva like.
