    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Help anyone know what type of Agama this is???

I have a question to anyone who may know. I purchased this lizard at a pet store they told me it was an Agama and that was it. Now I need to know what kind of agama it may be, I would like to get a female if I can determine what type he is.

Thanks Tori

it looks almost like a sick, malnourished bearded dragon. Beardies are part of the agama family. What care did the petshop tell you for it? At any rate, if you have a GOOD herp vet in the area, I would take it and have a fecal done, and treat it for any parasites, and keep it in quarantine for a good long time before introducing it to ANY of your current animals, or introducing a new animal to it.
 
Agama

I had purchased this one and a female from the same pet store, she died about a month ago he has been eating fine but doesnt seem to grow any bigger than when I bought him. He has been in a seperate room from my other reptiles since I bought him. They told me to treat him like my other bearded dragon same temps and all. He is in a cage size 24x24x18 basking lamp 12 hours a day with uvb. He eats mealworms and greens loves to be misted and takes bath constantly. He has never acted like his mate did before she died the main reason I won't purchase from pet stores anymore so many sick animals.

Could you please provide a picture of his tail. From the looks I would say it might be a Rankins, or it might be(depending upon the tail) a beavertail agama(false uromastyx).

Best regards,

I Have Found out!!!!

I have finally found out what type of agama he is, A Black Agama
vet checked him out no parasites, not a malnourished or sick beardie as was mentioned before, very healthy and will stay about the size he is in the previous pics.

Try doing a search for toad headed agama aka. false bearded dragon. I am pretty sure thats what you have but I can't see enough of the body.
 
Agama

Your lizard looks like it is a Clown Agama. There's not much info on them, but I have one myself. Mine is a female, and that one looks the same. To be sure, they are kin to Beardies and can be sexed by a beardie breeder. (That's who sexed mine) I've also been told they are related to Uromastyx, and I know they get along together in an aquarium.
The pic you had looks about like mine. She's not going to get much bigger, I doubt.
I know someone that can give the actual scientific name, and I will see him within the next week or two, so I can write back with that if you'd like.
