Collard Lizard (BRIGHT ORANGE?)

[Wreptile]

Hey GF Members!

I walked into my room this afternoon, and looked at my Eastern Collard Lizard.
She has BRIGHT ORANGE, like neon spots around her "collar". I have seen many pics of this, but I am wondering what caused it?
Is she at full maturity?
Is it breeding season?

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Hayden

Oh, they are so fun. They have great personality!

I got some pictures for anyone who can help out.
And no, I didn't just mark her with a Highlighter. Haha

Haha it does look like Highlighter marks too XD She's pretty

Yep, those markings are her way of saying to males that she is ready to breed. It is called a nuptial blush and will happen every year, both collareds and leopard lizards do this.

She is gorgeous and I am so completely jealous, I have wanted one for so long. Does anyone know where I could get one?

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!

RocksMama, I bought mine at my local privately owned pet shop. The chain stores won't have them but you can ask your other shops if they are able to order some.
