What am I?

I am not rare but still not all that common in the market. I am born live and not from an egg in the Summer and to avoid predators I use a trick that a well known mammal uses. I am an insectivore and easily handled and easy to care for. What am I?

I know I know. They're pretty neat too. The babies are really cool and look just like the parents.

There seems to be some colour variations too.

I'll let someone else name what it is though. I've kept them and I like them.

Ooh. Forgot about that. Yes some are different colors.

Omg, I think I know. Could it be an armadillo lizard?? I haven't seen one of those since I was 14. I remember seeing a pic in an encyclopedia and thinking they were the coolest thing. Always would've loved to have one as a pet, but my parents were not too keen on the non-fur aspect.

You're right. It's an armadillo lizard. Cool little lizards. Really easy to care for. Inexpensive lizard with a pretty long lifespan. I guess they aren't too popular since they aren't really flashy. I like em though.

woo hoo!! kudos to me . Thanks for the guessing game, it was fun.

sweet lizard.
