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

I hope someone may know what kind from these pics.

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.

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.

If he has parasites, then he won't get any bigger. You really should try and get him to a vet.

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 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.

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.

Sorry. I didn't get to the second page before I wrote.
