My newest pet........Pickle the male Emerald Swift. I hope to find him a couple females soon. He's in a temp 10 gallon tank for now. Soon he will have a 20 or 30 gallon.

How friendly are they? He seems pretty good just chilling on your arm.

Thank you all!

He's pretty "swift" if you know what I mean..hehe! I think he was just using me for heat because that was right when we got him home. He's from Petco(bad) but we have never seen them anywhere else and though he was soo cool. His tummy is blue too!
The scary thing is that I read if they don't have the perfect setup they will die right away! I think it's because they need UVB(petco didn't have it on him) and bigger aquariums when full grown because they run around so fast and probably bump into the glass.

Nice looking Sceloporus malachiticus, I always loved malachitus, I currently only own two breeding pair of S.u.hyacinthus, both were locally caught. Nice looking male!

Thank you Josh

Gorgeous I was about to ask if he had UVB but looks like you set everything up right!

 

[ILoveGreen]

Thanks Nigel......Petco didn't have a UVB light on him. I hope he will be fine now

Very nice!

I've seen these at a few local stores and thought they looked interesting. Yours definitely has some nice colors!

Thanks!
Your lucky to see them around...this is the only one I've seen around here. Are there females that you noticed?
