Jones Armadillo Lizard Sexing

I've got the tank and I'm going to start setting it up shortly. I'm looking to get a pair of Armadillo Lizards (at least). But how or can I sex them?

There is very little information about these guys online. There's more info on another type of armadillo lizard. The type I'm getting is apprently known specificly as the JONES Armadillo lizard and it looks like this:

At central pets the scientific name is listed as "Cordylus cataphractus" but at animal-world.com ( http://animal-world.com/encyclo/rept...ssfamilies.php ) that is the scientific name for more common armadillo lizard, while it lists the scientific name for the JONES armadillo lizard as <b>"Cordylus tropidosternum."</b>


Of course, I'd like any and all information you've got on these guys, but mainly I want to know if any body has some themselves and knows a reliable way of sexing them. If not, I'll just take my chances and see what happens. They're only twenty dollars and I've read you can keep a fair amount together, so I can always get another if I find out I have two boys or two girls.

I don't know about sexing them, but beware they are VERY shy little lizards. The pet store has a few and if you do as little as lift your finger they run as fast as they can (which is FAST!) and hide.

Are you sure? All of the ones I saw seemed incredibly lazy and uninterested in people. But there's very little info about them...

I got my lizards today! Two of them. One has a large head and the others head is narrower. Also, the one with the narrower head has a fatter belly. The one with the wider head also has pores on the inside of its thighs. I assume this is the male and the other is the female.

They are adorable AND fairly friendly. Thinking I will call them Tristan and Isolde.


I will post pictures when I have use of a camera again (mine broke).
