Gorgeous! They have always tempted me. How are their temperament?

 

[Azaleah]

Those are one of the animals I have always wanted but never had the chance to own. Beautiful creatures.

I love the blue markings, they kinda got my attention

 

[akward_silence91]

are these particular ones from bert langwerf? hes got a few.

 

[VARNYARD]

Jewelled lacertas are the largest of the lacertas they can reach 24 inches, they make good pets and can get pretty tame.

I did not get these from Bert, I tryed to get some from him, but he did not have any.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
